Nine children from Huay Hwai have now finished primary school and will move to Khun Yuam and Faa lang fon's boarding school this month. This 9 children are the first one ever to finish primary school in Huay Hwai (because the school there is only six years) and they are the first ones who will stay in Faa lang fon's boarding school as well. They are all very excited about leaving their village, living away from the parents and starting on a new school. Their parents will probably miss them a lot, but when we asked them about how they felt they all said the same; they were so happy for this good opportunity to get an education for their children. Last month we visited six of the students (the three other were not at home) to see how they live and to get to know them a little bit letter.
We are very happy to tell you that we got some more supporters. A BIG THANK TO ALL OF YOU WHO SUPPORT US. But we need more help. Except from this nine children, Faa lang fon also got 8 new applications for scholarships from older students, teenagers who finished secondary school and will start on high school. You can support one of these children by inserting money on Faa lang fons account in Skandiabanken in Norway. Account number: 972 2134 7580.

You can get some pictures and information about one of the children if you want.
Here are pictures of some of the children who will live in the boarding school. They are all twelve years:
Ni barn er nå ferdig på barneskolen i Huay Hwai. Det er det første kullet som går ut der, da barneskolen bare er seks år. De er også de første som vil bo på Faa lang fon sitt internat i Khun Yuam. Barna er veldig spente på hvordan det vil være å bo borte fra landsbyen, langt borte fra mor og far og å begynne på en helt ny skole. Foreldrene vil helt sikkert savne barna mye, men da vi spurte de så svarte alle det samme; at de var veldig glade for denne muligheten barna hadde fått, en mulighet til en god framtid. I forrige måned besøkte vi seks av barna (resten var ikke hjemme) for å se hvordan de bodde og bli litt bedre kjent med de.Vi er veldig glade for at vi i det siste har fått noen flere som støtter oss. TUSEN TAKK TIL ALLE DERE SOM STØTTER ARBEIDET. Men vi trenger likevel flere. Blant annet så har vi mottat 8 nye søknader fra ungdommer som trenger et skolestipend (dette uten å opplyse at vi deler ut stipend i år). De skal begynne på vidergående og har det til felles at de ønsker en utdannelse, men siden de kommer fra en fattig familie så trenger de hjelp. Dere kan støtte arbeidet ved å sette inn penger på kontoen til Faa lang fon i Skandiabanken. Kontonr: 972 2134 7580. Kontonavn: Faa lang fon. Dere kan få bilder og informasjon om et eller flere av barna om dere ønsker det. Kontoen er registrert på: Ragnhild Storstein Haug.Under ser dere noen av de som skal bo på internatet. De er alle 12 år.
The boarding school is finished and eight children have moved into the house. Seven of them have started on secondary school and one in high school. Two adults look after them.
