Ban Nongphodphet Wittiya School, Korat, C. Thailand

 

A 90 minute drive outside the city of Korat, the regional capital of Isaan and at the end of 5 miles of a bumpy, dirt road is the tiny school of Ban Nongphodphet Wittiya. The new Principal is an old friend of GHF and invited us to visit recently.

The whole village, including parents and grandparents came out to welcome us with traditional Isaan dancing. For many, it was the first time for them to meet "falangs" (foreigners).

This area is very poor & the school is an old beat-up building. 95 students attend here under the age of 10. GHF made a donation of 20,000thai baht for a new computer and we hope to do more in the future.
