As we draw close to the end of the Thai Buddhist calendar year, the students are also preparing to go on holidays until May. It is a very busy time of year for all of our students as they face exams and end of year assessments.
Those finishing grade 6 and grade 9 must pass their exams in order to continue their education. If a grade 6 student fails, he/she can repeat the year many times, but they can never move onto the next year until they pass. This means grade 6 will sadly be the end of education for some students. Some of these students join the adult learning center at the Hand to hand foundation where they can progress at their own pace. Without basic literacy and numeracy skills employment opportunities are limited to underpaid construction jobs and collecting recyclable materials from garbage cans.
The new school year will start in May and all of our 100 students will neewd stationary packs, uniforms and books. We have preschool children graduating out of our program and their are many children all needing sponsors. If you would like to sponsor a child please email us and we can match you with a needy student.
Thank you so much for all of your support. The next payment to continue supporting your child will be in May 2024. You will be receiving an update on your child by the end of March 2024. If you do not receive this, please email us at h2hsponsors@yahoo.com
