Ban Pak Kwang Pattana School Chiang Rai, Northern Thailand



I am raising funds for the Ban Pak Kwang Pattana School in Ampur Muang, Chiang Rai, Northern Thailand. The school desperately needs a new dormitory for the children. As you can see from the pictures the present dormitory is made of bamboo and nipa leaves and is practically falling apart. This is where 71 kids sleep during the week as their homes are too far from the school for them to travel there each day. I am trying to raise Baht 400,000 or about US$ 12,000 / £6,000 for a new building.

Plans have already been drawn and approved for a 20m x 7.5m building which will accommodate the kids and will have proper toilets. Construction can start as soon as we have the funds.
