Dhammajarinee's New Graduates
Dhammajarinee Witthaya School will soon celebrate the graduation of 49 seniors, marking the close of the 2023-2024 academic year. Many of the graduates are excitedly planning to attend the university of their choice as they await their acceptance and scholarship approvals. We look forward to sharing news of their success in the next month.
International Day of Women and Girls in Science was an exciting highlight of February. We are proud that every year more and more Dhammajarinee graduates grow in the confidence and knowledge to choose science-related majors at university, such as veterinary medicine, public health, environmental management and safety, innovative agricultural management, chemical engineering, irrigation engineering, food science and technology, nursing, pharmacy, and traditional Thai medicine.
The Bliss of Achievement
In February, Dhammajarinee competed in the 71st Arts and Crafts Competition for secondary schools in Ratchaburi Province. The DWS competitors received an outstanding 26 top awards, including five first place awards and five gold medals! Impressively, Dhammajarinee’s awards covered 22 different areas, from technology and software development, to Chinese language, to various traditional arts and much more.
For the last two years, Dhammajarinee has given significant emphasis to implementing STEM methodologies, online courses, and an active hands-on approach to learning made possible by the newly renovated MakeHerSpace. This increased access to and familiarity with STEM training is taking the students to new heights of possibilities. In the hearts of the students, there is great hope welling up for a very bright future, full with successful achievement of their desires.
“No society will flourish, and no peace agreement will be lasting without empowering girls in peacebuilding and reconstruction,” said Irina Bokova, Director-General of the UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). “It is time to put this imperative at the heart of all our efforts…”
Thank you for putting the development and empowerment of the students at Dhammajarinee at the heart of your generous giving.
