Practical preparations for the expansion of the Dhammajarinee Witthaya School student body began in March with orders for new uniforms, bunk beds and kitchen supplies.
Because Dhammajarinee is a boarding school, the Thai Government approved the school to resume classes one month earlier than expected. Buses are being organized to transport the students back to the school from their families or distant relatives, shelters, and orphanages from where they originally came.
Some examples of the many students currently registering at Dhammajarinee:
• A young girl whose only parent just past away was brought by officials because they recognize the great opportunity and special care the girls receive at the school. • Two single mothers, each with 3 daughters, registered their six girls because they have no income to feed them.
The Coronavirus problem has been very successfully contained in Thailand with few infections existing outside of Bangkok. Most of the students safely left the school in March for yearly summer vacation just before the lockdown became effective. Some of the girls had nowhere to go so remained on campus and have been well taken care of.
In the next ten days we will be able to see how many girls have come for the new year. It is expected that many more will come due to the current economic crisis.
Heartfelt thanks to you for joining in to help make this expansion happen !!!
