So, this woman has some rice farms near the caves where the soccer team got stuck. She cooked for the volunteers and helped them out.

Now, her fields have been flooded by the water pumped out of the caves for the rescue. She says "Children are more important than rice. We can regrow rice but we can't regrow children."

But the volunteers are staying to pump the water out of her fields so the harvest can be saved.

This is what happens when people are good to each other.

It's such a shame someone died trying to help the. It would be bad enough to have all of the drama over the rescue on the shoulders of the kids and couch, but now they'll live with the knowledge that someone died for them.

Hopefully it'll be an incentive to do more good to honour him.
