We support approximately one hundred children in Shan migrant camp schools in Thailand, and offer Thai language classes to their parents so they can communicate with their Thai employers. We also have a tuition program that furnishes matching funds so parents can send Shan migrant children to Thai schools. We spend approximately three months a year in Thailand, observing the schools and methods being used and trying to find new and better ways to help refugee children.

Despite attending classes taught in a foreign language and despite their sharecropper parents’ struggle to pay their half of expenses, all twenty-five children in last year’s tuition program passed their exams. This year our tuition program covers thirty-five children.
