Originally from the Netherlands, Sallo founded PCF in Thailand in 2011. After years of working in Dutch television, his travels to Southeast Asia gave him the vision of helping local communities in need by providing them with the necessary resources to improve their living conditions and lead dignified lives.

I wanted to found an organisation that I myself would feel confident donating to. PCF is that organisation.

She has been working in multicultural environments for around 15 years, primarily in the Thai and international NGO and business sectors. Pah has been crunching numbers as a cost controller in a food chain company and an accounting firm.
