What does Hoy-Tak-Poo-Lom mean?

Hoy-Tak-Poo-Lom is the phonetic spelling of two thai words, 'hoy-tak' which means snail, and 'poo-lom' which means crab. The significance is that the foundation takes a disabled child, which is slow, like a snail, as a consequence of the disability, and help it become fast, like a crab. Throughout Thailand, the foundation is known as 'Hoy-Tak-Poo-Lom', which also goes by another name, the Foudnation for Children with Disablities (FCD).
