5. 15 students from Concordian International School participated in this program and formed a company for an educational purpose called “Maraeng” (Ma- Raeng means Boom in Thai and the sound is also similar to the sound of insect in the Thai language).Each student has a title job and responsibility in running this educational company.
6. After a few months of observing and researching, we came up with our product that we think that can benefit us and our community.As Thailand is a hot and humid country and 85% of the Thai people use fans at their homes as well as the number of people affected with Malaria and Dengue Fever are increasing , we decided to make a mosquito repellents that can be attached to a fan so that it can be more effective while spreading the scent of the cinnamon and the lemon grass to the areas that mosquitoes gather.
7. We hired an old lady at the market to produce or first products for us.We used fabric from OTOP (Nan Province) and non toxic ingredients such as Lemongrass and Cinnamon.This is how our first products looked like!!
8. Cinnamon and Lemon grass are 2 effective non toxic ingredients that can act as an all-purpose insect repellent. The ingredients are filled in a small size sack that has a clip on its back for you to attach to your fan or air conditioner at home or even in you car! The smell will stay for 2 weeks up to the times that you use your fan.
9. After testing and designing the products , we decidedto arrange a session for all our friends, teachers, administrators, school staff and maids to select their most favorite top designs.

11. Our products not only repel mosquitoes but also give a relaxing scent which can smooth a hard and stressful day. It can also be used as a fan decoration, cute for kids and even write reminder notes on it. Our product is made from 100% non-toxic materials, including Thai herbs . We support people from OTOP and hire people that are unemployed.
12. We were delighted to welcome Dr.AnupongAujariyakul, Director of Disease Prevention and Control Department of Disease control – Malaria Association of Thailand to our school to discus with us about our product and give us more information on Malaria in Thailand.
