She was already 55 years old when she was baptized a Catholic in 1996, but her life story, including facing charges of a crime she did not commit, has become an inspiration for Thai people to find God.
Mary Sarindhorn Mativachranon, now 80 years old, believes that her life experience, which she wrote in a book titled “Moving the Mountain,” can be a bridge to bring people closer to God.
During her years of trials and tribulations, Mary came to discover God. Her book became an instant success not only in Thailand but around the world.
She later donated all the proceeds from the sale of her book for projects that help women in distress.
During the pandemic, and seeing how the poor people in Thailand suffered, Mary and a group of friends initiated what they dubbed as “Zero Food Waste” to feed the hungry.
To make the project sustainable, the woman established a foundation called VV Share, which works closely with the social action arm of the Catholic Church in Thailand, Caritas.
