Since 2008, I have had the privilege of working directly with Dhammajarinee Witthaya School. The girls often arrive from backgrounds of disabling insecurity and lack of opportunity, backstories respectfully kept private by the school administration.
What a miracle it is to see those same girls slowly discover their strength, dignity, and hope. This is why I love this school and why I feel so deeply grateful that you are part of its success. Your support is not just financial assistance. It is a stable, encouraging message to these underserved girls that their lives matter and their futures are worth investing in.
Today, I want to share the expressions of one high school student who has been able to find and unfold her own unique talent and path to lead a successful life.
A Story of Growth
“I have noticed a deep change in my temperament; I have become a much calmer, more disciplined, and more responsible person than I ever was before joining this school. The most valuable lesson I’ve gained is having the courage to take action. I have learned to face things I was once afraid of and turn that fear into a positive force.
I want to become a physical education teacher, because I want to inspire other children to stay active and healthy, just as my teachers have inspired me. My most cherished memory is going out to compete in futsal. Being part of a team and representing the school gave me a sense of pride I had never felt before.
(To our donors) I wish to say thank you for the love and for providing the resources we once lacked. Your support for our sports equipment and our team makes our dreams feel possible.”
Because of you, this girl who once struggled with fear now feels courage. A student who once lacked direction now has a dream of inspiring others.
Spring Bonus Opportunity
Only twice during 2026, we will invite you to help sustain Dhammajarinee’s growth.
Beginning March 17, the Spring Bonus Campaign will expand your generosity. A $50 gift becomes $75, a $30 gift becomes $45 — expanding your impact and helping us reach even more girls who need a chance.
If you are not able to donate, we invite you to share Dhammajarinee’s mission with your friends and network. The more hearts who learn about this work, the more lives we can help transform.
We will share details of our campaign, and a new short video and inspiring news in our next email.
We are deeply grateful to have you sharing in this school’s wonderful growth!
