“I am from <strong>the</strong> Hill Tribe. My family are farmers. We grow rice. We don’t<br />

really have enough food. We don’t have enough to eat. S<strong>in</strong>ce I was very<br />

young I didn’t know anyth<strong>in</strong>g. I couldn’t even speak Thai properly. I<br />

couldn’t communicate with my friends. After a while at this school, I<br />

improved my study <strong>and</strong> my grades are now on a good level. Practic<strong>in</strong>g<br />

meditation makes my m<strong>in</strong>d clearer <strong>and</strong> improves my memory.”<br />

<br />

Student Nun Aria, 15 years

rural <strong>Thail<strong>and</strong></strong>


We began <strong>in</strong> 1990 with a small group of Buddhist nuns,<br />

work<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> an impoverished area of <strong>Thail<strong>and</strong></strong>. We<br />

established a safe home <strong>and</strong> provided skill tra<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g for<br />

30 orphans girls ages 12 to 15. <br />

<br />

These girls had little or no hope for education or a<br />

bright future.<br />

<br />

Over <strong>the</strong> past 28 years, we have helped over 3000<br />

young girls by giv<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong>m a safe home to live, lov<strong>in</strong>g<br />

care <strong>and</strong> attention, education <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> hope for a better<br />

future.<br />

<strong>Dhammajar<strong>in</strong>ee</strong> Witthaya <strong>School</strong> with 850 students<br />

from k<strong>in</strong>dergarden to year 12 .
