School Supplies for Thai Children
Donation protected
Hi guys! I recently saw a Facebook post about a teacher and school located in Northern Thailand that was in need of funding and school supplies. I will be making a trip to Thailand in February. I have done my research regarding this school and will take some time out of my vacation to visit the kids. While I think it is worthwhile to visit the children and see the school, I would also like to make a small difference by providing the school and children with books, school funding, supplies (notebooks, pencils/pens, rulers, etc), and equipments for various activities.
The school name is Ban Khun Pung School (โรงเรียนบ้านแม่ปั๋ง สาขาบ้านขุนปั๋ง) in Ban Mae Pang Village, located in Phrao District, approximately 95km from Chiang Mai, Thailand. There are 11 villages located in Ban Mae Pang.
There are approximately 20 kids in this primary school and only ONE primary teacher. Nearly all the children in this school are from poor and underprivileged families. The teacher is Mr. Jumlong Sakol (จำลอง สกล). He specializes in mathematics, but being the only teacher in the school, he teaches all subjects to all students.
Educational support is severely lacking. Other shortages include school lunch funding, school supplies, and student apparels. These shortages must be overcome in order to create a profound impact on the development of education of these children.
The terrain is mountainous and villagers mainly engage in agriculture. Ban Mae Pang faces many problems including water scarcity. Attempted drilling has been done, but has not been effective because of rusty water due to the geological location. Living conditions are quite poor for children in this area.
If you can help, please do. Any small amount of donation will go a long way. Let's help to provide a proper educational environment necessary for learning and success.
Please message me if you have any questions.
Thank you!
