Educate at-risk girls, end poverty cycle: Thailand

We welcome you, our generous donor, with gratitude to enjoy our most recent activities at Dhammajarinee Witthaya School.

Music Teacher Cooks Lunch

During the mid-semester one-week break, while many students were away, a few remained at school. In a gesture of kindness and thoughtfulness, their music teacher decided to prepare lunch for them himself. Though it wasn’t an elaborate meal, the heartfelt gift was infused with care and attention, reflecting his deep appreciation for the students who stayed behind. This simple act not only nourished their bodies but also fostered a sense of community and connection within the school.

An International Partnership Opens New Pathways

We are honored to be featured in The Ensemble — a global platform that amplifies stories of music as a force for social change — in an article written by our incredible partners at the Playing For Change Foundation!

The article shares our partnership with Playing For Change Foundation, which is bringing high-quality music and dance education to our students — many of whom are experiencing this opportunity for the first time. This collaboration is not only nurturing artistic skills — it is fostering confidence, connection, and sowing the seeds for lasting change.

Financial Literacy Training and More

The Buddharaksa Foundation organized their yearly “Road to the Future” project at Dhammajarinee. This year’s meaningful initiative provided students with valuable knowledge about personal finance and how to manage money effectively as they prepare for university. In addition to the financial literacy session, the Foundation also invited Dhammajarinee alumni to share their real-life experiences of university life. Their stories and advice offered inspiration and practical guidance to our Grade 11 and 12 students, helping them understand what to expect and how to navigate their own journey with confidence. Ultimately, the event gave students the opportunity to broaden their perspectives, reflect on their goals, and start planning their futures with greater clarity and intention.

A Model for Early Childhood Education

Dhammajarinee was honored to welcome faculty from the Early Childhood Education Department at the University of the Thai Chamber of Commerce for an observation visit. Dhammajarinee is a Model Training Center for the RIECE curriculum (Reducing Inequality Through Early Childhood Education), and we shared our approach to building strong foundations for young learners. RIECE focuses on active learning, child-led exploration, and inclusive practices tailored to Thai classrooms.

Professional School Administrators and Teachers of Private Schools

Dhammajarinee’s leadership team and teachers recently joined a practical training workshop titled “Developing Professional School Administrators and Teachers of Private Schools in Ratchaburi Province.” Hosted at Darunaratchaburi School, the workshop aimed to equip educators with the skills necessary to teach more effectively in today’s world. It was part of a broader effort in Thailand to support modern, responsive teaching that aligns with the country’s changing educational needs. For our team, it was an opportunity to connect with fellow educators, explore new ideas, and reflect on how we can continue to grow in our roles as teachers and leaders.

Thank you for taking the time to explore the wonderful activities at Dhammajarinee Witthaya School; your support helps us create these meaningful experiences and empowers our students on their educational journey.
