Celebrating Achievement

It has been a few months since we shared news because March, April, May is the hottest time of the year so it is the 'Summer Holiday'.

We recently began the New Year at School here in Ranong and have many things to celebrate. 

In a challenging migrant fishing town environment where only 20% of children begin school and 90% finish at age 12, we are happy to make a difference and see the joy education brings in the lives of children and families. 

We've celebrated the graduation of 12 students from Australian Catholic University (ACU). 34 new students joined the Secondary Education Programme. The preschool is full with 75 children. 28 students continue their studies in the post school English Programme. 16 students were accepted into the new ACU University Online Diploma Programme. 

For the next few months we will observe carefully the families that are struggling to provide for education and transport for their children. Your support helps us support the poorest families to ensure children remain at school for a much brighter future. 

Enjoy a few photos of the joy we have in serving our Burmese Migrant families and children here on the Thailand Burma Border. 

Thanks for your continued prayers and support.
Marist Team.
