Hi Supporters,
Sorry this report is a little late as life in Thailand is never predictable! We thank you for your support and donations over the past three months as it has helped us cover the cost of feeding our children and providing them with stationery to learn. Without your donations we simply would not be able to feed or give them an exercise book to use in class so thank you!
This project is so important to us as from the title we know that education is the key to fighting poverty but in Thailand the barriers within the education system are getting worse much quicker than it should. Daily we are fighting the battles of inequuality in the schools, the uneven and unlogical funding provided to the schools and the constant battles and changes being forced on us from the Ministry of Education that seem to simply sit in a board room and make decisions to change things so they can show they have achieved something today! The impact of these changes makes being a teacher very unappealing and added with the huge teacher debt and poor salary - would you teach here?
Still above all this stress and issues it is people like you and your donations that give us the light at the end of a dark tunnel, with your donations we are able to cut these issues to aside and focus on education and teaching the youth of Thailand and by doing this one day soon these educated young people will smash the poverty cycle we currently live in.
Thank you for trusting and believing in us!
