Gabriella Moores hasn't added a story.
I have been working at Watnongtakae school for six weeks teaching English. The school has around 200 students and it's a primary/secondary school. It's in Nong Khae, which is a small district in Saraburi. The majority children at this school come from very poor families, who struggle to provide the necessities they need. Some of the parents can't provide food for their child, so the school helps as much as they can by giving any left over food to the families.
An example of one of the poorest students is a 13 year old boy, who lives with his Grandparents. They are too old to work now, and because they didn't work in a government job, they don't receive a pension. This means they have no source of income and the three of them live in a small hut, without any running water or electricity.
The school gives scholarships to a small number of students, depending on their living conditions and grades. However, the scholarship is only 5000 baht (100 pounds) to last the famiy one whole year. Nearby temples make donations to the school to help, which gave me this idea to set up my own donations page to try and help.
Even the little things, like socks, are a struggle for most families. The students walk around with their socks hanging on by a thread! They only get one pair of socks provided by the school per year. Lunch is only free for the younger students, meaning M1-M3 (12-15 year olds) have to buy their own lunch, which their families can't afford. With this extra money, the school will be able to provide lunch for all the students. With your kind donations, the school can; give money to the poorest families, buy food, uniform/underwear, stationary, and even some toys. The things we class as necessities, are in fact luxuries for the families here.
A 9 year old girl names Yok, is a deaf student here and her family can't afford to send her to a school which specialises in teaching deaf children. However, with your donations the school will be able to afford a hearing aid for her, making it much easier for her to learn.
Like I previously stated, the school does its best to help the children as much as possible, but your donations will be a massive help and put a big smile on their faces.
If you have any more questions about how your money will benefit the children, just ask... I could write pages and pages about why people should help this amazing school.
Thank you so much for taking the time to look into this campaign and I really hope you decide to make a donation
