Scholarship's for Slum Kids in Pattaya Thailand

As the school year comes to a close, the students are now in their final term and are studying diligently in preparation for year-end exams and assessments. Despite many challenges in their daily lives, the children continue to show determination, focus, and a strong desire to learn. Their commitment during this final term reflects how seriously they value the opportunity that education provides.  This period is an important time of focus and perseverance as they work hard to finish the academic year well.  Soon after completing their examinations, the students will enter their summer break in March.

In addition to the children’s program, our adult school continues to play an important role in the community. Many adults attend classes to improve their basic education, life skills, and confidence. The photos included highlight their enthusiasm, active participation, and the supportive learning environment that has been created for them.

A significant number of students also attend our Saturday English class, where they work on improving their speaking, reading, and listening skills. These classes are well attended and eagerly anticipated each week. Alongside this, the computer club gives students valuable hands-on experience with technology, helping them build practical skills that will benefit their future education and employment opportunities.

 Photos included in this report show the students’ dedication, effort, and the positive impact these programs have on their lives. Through continued scholarship support, these children and adults are being given hope, opportunity, and a brighter future.

Thank you for your support.

The 1st semester for Thai children has come to an end. This means that the children are in the middle for their final exams and getting excited about their 3 week holiday break.

All schools have different timetables and so the children's holidays are staggered. The Hand to Hand children are looking forward to some extra activities that will be hosted at the foundation. The nation hip hop champion from Hungary is come to teach a 3 week dance course which many students are looking forward to.

We also have a cycling activity where 20 children will be participating in the hand to Hand Charity bike ride. Students aged 6- 14 will be cycling 32km. The cycle will take place over many days at the beautiful Maprachan lake in Pattaya.

In addition to this some children will enjoy some extra computer classes.

Some of our students come from up country and they have returned to Pattaya to visit family. If the family situation is not deemed as a safe environment the children will live at the hand to hand housing and parents can come to visit.

The preschool will also close for 2 weeks.
