Bang Por Kindergarten, April 2008

In April 2008, the residential students of the Foundation Training Course spent their Sundays renovating a local kindergarten in Bang Por. The school is owned by a lovely Thai lady named "Pa Dang" She has had this school for 40 years and in her 60s. The school has over 200 students between age 3 - 6 years. The government do not provide any funds necessary to renovate this run down school. Pa Dang lacks the funds to improve the school conditions without private support. She charges very little for the school (less than 40 Euros per year per child). She does this out of her love for children and to provide a safe place where young children can be while their parents are at work.??

The following details some "before" and after photos of the school.

The school grounds were filled with dirt and sand. The children would be covered with dirt after a day at school.

After one month of all of us and the community coming to help, we have transformed the kindergarten into a happy clean and safe place.
