The daily life in the Faa lang fon dormitory

Its a new semester for the children in Faa lang fon dormitory. One girl had to leave the dormitory and a new boy moved in, so its still 8 children living there. In the end of this year/beginning of next year we hope to improve the buildings and build some new buildings on the site, then we will be able to accept more children to the dormitory next year. This term the children have more activities in the dormitory on Saturdays and Sundays. Here are some pictures from the daily life in the dormitory.

One of the duties for the children is to grow vegetables. Time for art. Thatree who lives and works at the dormitory is an artist and teach the children about art.
Time for English. Thatree is teaching English in the weekends. When we have volunteers its their duty.Preparing for the rainy season....

Dinner time. The children grow their own vegetables and make their own food.

En nyutdannet lærer

Our first scholarship student is finished with her education. She is now a trained teacher and her dream is to be a teacher for Karen children. We hope we soon will see her teaching in the village Huay Hwai or another Karen village in the mountain. The picture is from her last day at school, Be went to Chiang Mai to celebrate with her.

Den første jenta som har fått støtte til høyere utdanning er nå ferdig utdannet lærer. Hun kommer fra Huay Hwai og har i flere år mottat støtte fra Faa lang fon, nå er hun ferdig og klar for å begynne i jobben som lærer. Hun har et stort ønske om å dra tilbake til fjellet og jobbe blant karenbarn. Nå i begynnelsen får hun ikke bestemme det selv, men blir sendt dit undervisningsdepartementet bestemmer. Vi krysser fingrene og håper at hun snart er å finne på skolen i Huay Hwai eller i en annen Karen landsby. Hun hadde et stort ønske om at Be skulle være med på skoleavslutningen så han dro tidligere i vår til Chiang Mai for å delta på festen, bildet er fra skoleavslutningen.
