Dormitory for children in remote areas

In addition, iCare Thailand Foundation will build a home for the teachers of Jor See Due Nua School, as the school is located 60 km from the nearest road, with the journey to the nearest paved road taking 5-8 hours. Without teachers, the school is not able to function, so to provide for the comfort and needs of the teachers, iCare Thailand will be building the first ever home for teachers at Jor See Due Nua School. Project implementation:

Sing For Charity project 2022 is a gathering of Chula class mates from the class of 72, as well as classmates from Assumption, from the class of 69-71, along with Living Centre Co. Ltd, the founder of which has dedicated his time to making a difference in society and helping those in need through arranging activities to raise support for the building of the new dormitories, as well as supplying bicycles for those who have to travel for many hours to reach school. In addition, this project includes scholarships for the children to buy basic necessities, school supplies, and books, so that these children in remote parts of Chiang Rai, Chieng Mai, Mae Hong Son, and Sa Kaeo, can receive the support that they need.

Working together with iCare Thailand Foundation, a Foundation devoted to helping children in need in Thailand, countless cases have been uncovered where children have little or no access to education, compared to the ease of access children in Bangkok and the larger provinces have. Because of numerous obstacles, such as the remoteness of their villages, the children who are committed to going to school have to walk up and down the mountainous countryside for many hours, impacting their education and general wellbeing.

Education is the key that will unlock the door to permanent change. In order to enable this, our goal is to reduce the obstacles hindering the children from receiving a education, namely that of travelling to school through the setting up of dormitories in 1 location, as well as establishing bicycle stations in 2 locations, in order to make it easier for children to travel to and from school. The location we’ll be establishing this year’s new dormitory is as follows:

1. Jor See Due Nua School, Mae Saraing, Mae Hong Son.

2. Home for teachers and dormitory for students , Mae Sariang, Mae Hong Son.

Bicycle Distribution Project in 2 locations

For those students who don’t live in the farthest villages, and are not eligible for a place in the dormitories, the bike to school project enables children to access bicycles for the daily commute to and from school. Each bike costs 3,100 baht. The bicycles will be available in 2 clusters:

1. Sub Muang School Cluster, Ta Phraya, Sa Kaeo Province 50 bicycles

2. Nam Phiang Din School Cluster, Huay Boo Kaeng, Muang district, Mae Hong Son, 50 bicycles

Project benefits:
