It has been more than 6 years that Issarachon Foundation, a private non-profit organization, has traveled to organize activities with students of the ethnic tribes in rural highlands of Nan. These activities include engaging students in recreational activities, developing their skills, and providing necessary educational supplies. Since the beginning of this year, the foundation has realized that there is one more thing these students need, which are vehicles to go to school. 

Every day, many of these students need to walk on their feet through hilly paths for more than 3 kilometers to attend school on time. On rainy days, the paths become muddy, and they need to toil through these muddy paths which prolong their commute to school, or have no choice but to skip school altogether. 

Although education is worth the long walking journey, it would be much better if someone can give them the better option! 

 

The Issarachon Foundation has thus collaborated with Nan Provincial Administrative Organization and Chondan Subdistrict Administration Organization to initiate "Bicycle for Students in Nan" project to deliver bicycles to the elementary school students of the ethnic tribes living in the rural highlands of Nan. Nan Provincial Administrative Organization and Chondan Subdistrict Administration Organization will select the schools and students with outstanding educational performance to be awarded these bicycles on National Children's day in 2016.
