Patapol is among many Klong Toey slum children who has benefited from a music sharing programme. Impressionable and immature, he noted that he grew up in Klong Toey mimicking adults who freely used profanity and displayed aggressive behaviour. The venue was none other than the old Klong Toey slaughterhouse, a sprawling vicinity where drug addicts had previously frequented. "The music sharing project came about by chance while I was working in a non-profit organisation in the Klong Toey slum. One thing lead to another, and the demand for donated music instruments increased, and so with it the need for volunteer music teachers."
