<div><strong>Who We Are</strong>
</div>
<div>We are a group of six volunteers from the UK and Germany. As a small
</div>
<div>group of architecture students, artists and young architects we’re going to support
</div>
<div>Jan and his project in Mae Sot, Thailand. Together we will design and build three
</div>
<div>new classrooms for 20 to 25 students (including purchasing the necessary
</div>
<div>construction materials) for Light school, a migrant learning centre in Mae Sot, run
</div>
<div>by Burma Migrant Teacher Association. Please check out Jan Glasmeier's website for more
</div>
<div>content on his previous non-profit projects in Thailand and around the
</div>
<div>world. <a href="https://www.simplearchitecture.net" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">www.simplearchitecture.net</a>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Background</strong>
</div>
<div>Mae Sot has a relatively stable number of Migrant Learning Centres (MLC) which
</div>
<div>provide education to the migrant and refugee community from Burma. Following the
</div>
<div>latest military coup in Burma on 1st February 2021, the numbers of students
</div>
<div>attending these MLC’s has been steadily increasing.
</div>
<div>There are currently three main organisations supporting MLCs in the Mae Sot area.
</div>
<div>They are, Burma Migrant Worker Education Committee (BMWEC), Help without
</div>
<div>Frontiers (HwF), and Burma Migrant Teacher Association (BMTA). These
</div>
<div>organisations support the schools financially by providing stationery, school trucks,
</div>
<div>remuneration for teachers and bus drivers and paying rent for the school land.
</div>
<div>Unfortunately, there are usually very limited funds available for maintenance of
</div>
<div>school buildings, or for constructing extensions to the schools.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>The Light School</strong> currently hosts 100 students from Nursery to Grade 7. This number
</div>
<div>of students is projected to rise in the coming years due to the ongoing instability
</div>
<div>within Burma. This creates an issue of insufficient classrooms within the school
</div>
<div>premises, resulting in the sharing of classroom space between different grades.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>The Project</strong>
</div>
<div>Within a duration of five weeks, we are going to be in Mae Sot, to design and build
</div>
<div>three new classrooms located on a fallow on the school terrain.
</div>
<div>Through these workshops, we will demonstrate local construction techniques using
</div>
<div>Bamboo, Eucalyptus and Adobe Bricks (Baan Din). The Adobe bricks will be
</div>
<div>produced in collaboration with local students, university students, and volunteers
</div>
<div>by using local soil, combined with water and rice husk as a fibrous material.
</div>
<div>The bricks are then sun-dried over a period of 2-3 days until they are ready to use.
</div>
<div>Together with local workers who will supervise the construction, we will begin by
</div>
<div>constructing the classroom walls using these handmade adobe bricks. This
</div>
<div>participatory approach will reinforce feelings of ownership within the students,
</div>
<div>who will be using the classrooms daily.
</div>
<div>The roof structure will be put together using recycled second-hand timber from the
</div>
<div>lumber shops in town. In support of environmental sustainability, we will focus on
</div>
<div>reducing the amount of concrete used in the build, and instead rely on
</div>
<div>environmentally friendly materials and vernacular architecture to be climatically
</div>
<div>responsive. We are confident we can complete this project within a 5-week
</div>
<div>timeframe and within the calculated budget.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>To date, we have raised approximately 60% of the construction costs of 6000
</div>
<div>Euros and would like to request your support in raising the remaining 2.500
</div>
<div>Euros for the construction of three classrooms.
</div>
<div>If the funding goal is exceeded, we will also be able to support the school with new
</div>
<div>sets of tables and chairs for the students.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>*** Update 25/12/3: Because we have received an incredible amount of support in just a few days, we decided to stretch our target to 3500€. We will use the money for additional school furniture and renovation/repairs of the existing buildings.***
</div>

</div>
<div><strong>Wer wir sind</strong>
</div>
<div>Wir sind eine Gruppe sechs Freiwilliger aus Großbritannien und Deutschland. Als
</div>
<div>kleine Gruppe von Architekturstudierenden, jungen Architekt*innen und
</div>
<div>Künstler*innen unterstützen wir Jan und sein Projekt in Mae Sot, Thailand.
</div>
<div>Gemeinsam werden wir für die Light School, ein Lernzentrum für Migranten,
</div>
<div>betrieben von der Burma Migrant Teacher Association, drei neue Klassenzimmer für
</div>
<div>jeweils 15 Schüler*innen entwerfen und bauen (einschließlich des Kaufs der
</div>
<div>notwendigen Baumaterialien). Weitere Inhalte zu Jan Glasmeiers bisherigen gemeinnützigen
</div>
<div>Projekten in Thailand und weltweit findest du auf seiner
</div>
<div>Seite <a href="https://www.simplearchitecture.net" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">www.simplearchitecture.net</a>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Hintergrund</strong>
</div>
<div>Mae Sot verfügt über eine relativ stabile Anzahl von Migrant Learning Centers
</div>
<div>(MLCs), die der Bildungsförderung von Migrant*innen- und
</div>
<div>Flüchtlingsgemeinschaften dienen. Seit dem Militärputsch in Myanmar am 1.
</div>
<div>Februar 2021 steigt die Zahl der Schüler*innen, die diese MLCs besuchen, stetig an.
</div>
<div>Derzeit gibt es drei Hauptorganisationen, die die MLCs in der Region Mae Sot
</div>
<div>unterstützen: das Burma Migrant Worker Education Committee (BMWEC), Help
</div>
<div>without Frontiers (HwF) und die Burma Migrant Teacher Association (BMTA). Diese
</div>
<div>Organisationen finanzieren Schulen durch die Bereitstellung von Lehrmaterialien,
</div>
<div>Schultransporten, Vergütung für Lehrkräfte und Busfahrer*innen sowie
</div>
<div>Mietzahlungen für Schulgelände. Leider stehen oft nur sehr begrenzte Mittel für die
</div>
<div>Instandhaltung der Schulgebäude oder den Bau von Erweiterungen zur Verfügung.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Die Light School</strong> betreut derzeit 100 Schülerinnen vom Kindergarten bis zur
</div>
<div>7.Klasse. Aufgrund der anhaltenden Instabilität in Myanmar wird erwartet, dass die
</div>
<div>Schüler*innenzahlen in den kommenden Jahren weiter steigen. Dies führt zu
</div>
<div>Platzproblemen, da nicht genügend Klassenräume vorhanden sind. Somit müssen
</div>
<div>sich verschiedene Klassen Räume teilen.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Das Projekt</strong>
</div>
<div>Innerhalb von fünf Wochen werden wir in Mae Sot drei neue Klassenzimmer auf
</div>
<div>einer ungenutzten Fläche des Schulgeländes entwerfen und bauen.
</div>
<div>Im Rahmen von Workshops demonstrieren wir lokale Bautechniken mit Bambus,
</div>
<div>Eukalyptusholz und Lehmziegeln (Baan Din). Die Lehmziegel werden in
</div>
<div>Zusammenarbeit mit lokalen Schüler*innen, Universitätsstudierenden und
</div>
<div>Freiwilligen aus lokalem Boden, Wasser und Reishülsen als Fasermaterial
</div>
<div>hergestellt. Die Ziegel trocknen 2-3 Tage in der Sonne, bevor sie einsatzbereit sind.
</div>
<div>Gemeinsam mit lokalen Arbeiter*innen, die den Bau beaufsichtigen, beginnen wir
</div>
<div>mit dem Errichten der Wände aus den handgefertigten Lehmziegeln. Dieser
</div>
<div>partizipative Ansatz stärkt das Gefühl der Eigenverantwortung bei den
</div>
<div>Schüler*innen, die die Klassenzimmer täglich nutzen werden.
</div>
<div>Die Dachkonstruktion wird aus recyceltem Holz von lokalen Holzhändler*innen
</div>
<div>zusammengesetzt. Um die Umwelt zu schonen, reduzieren wir den Einsatz von
</div>
<div>Beton und setzen stattdessen auf umweltfreundliche Materialien und eine
</div>
<div>klimatisch angepasste Bauweise im Sinne der traditionellen Architektur. Wir sind
</div>
<div>zuversichtlich, dass wir diese Aufgaben innerhalb des vorgegebenen Zeitrahmens
</div>
<div>und Budgets erfolgreich umsetzen können.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Bisher haben wir etwa 60% der Baukosten in Höhe von 6.000 Euro gesichert und
</div>
<div>bitten um Unterstützung, um die verbleibenden 2.500 Euro für den Bau von drei
</div>
<div>Klassenzimmern zu sammeln. Sollten durch die Kampagne noch mehr Mittel
</div>
<div>gesammelt werden, möchten wir die Schule zusätzlich mit neuen Tischen und
</div>
<div>Stühlen für die Schüler*innen unterstützen.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>*** Update 3.12.25: Da wir innerhalb kürzester Zeit unserem ursprünglichem Ziel bereits sehr nahe sind, haben wir uns dazu entschlossen, den Zielbetrag auf 3500€ zu erhöhen. Damit werden wir zusätzlich Schulmöbel und Reparaturen/Renovierungsarbeiten der Bestandsschule bezahlen können.***
