Dhammajarinee Witthaya School<br />
Educating girls to live in accord with dharma and<br />
to create world peace
Dhammajarine Witthaya School is the first and<br />
only entirely free girls boarding school<br />
administered by Buddhist nuns in <strong>Thailand</strong>.<br />
We provide housing, clothing, food, school<br />
supplies, medical and dental care.<br />
We also organize scholarships for students to<br />
attend university after graduation.
“I am from the Hill Tribe. My family are farmers. We grow rice. We don’t really<br />
have enough food. We don’t have enough to eat. Since I was very young I<br />
didn’t know anything. I couldn’t even speak Thai properly. I couldn’t<br />
communicate with my friends. After a while at this school, I improved my<br />
study and my grades are now on a good level. Practicing meditation makes my<br />
mind clearer and improves my memory.”!<br />
Student Nun Aria, 15 years
The girls at our school are from many rural<br />
provinces from <strong>Thailand</strong>.<br />
They come from poor families, problem families,<br />
victims of domestic violence or sexual abuse, or<br />
they are at-risk.
“DJWS is the place that is safe and it can help and<br />
heal the mind and hearts of girls, and give them<br />
the opportunity for education.”<br />

Sunsia comes from a poor family in<br />
rural <strong>Thailand</strong>
We began in 1990 with a small group of Buddhist nuns<br />
working in an impoverished area of <strong>Thailand</strong>. We<br />
established a safe home and provided skill training for 30<br />
orphan girls ages 12 to 15.<br />
These girls had little or no hope for education or a bright<br />
future.<br />
Over the past 28 years, we have helped over 3000 young<br />
girls by giving them a comfortable home to live, loving care<br />
and attention, quality education and the hope for a better<br />
future.<br />
Today the organization has grown to be Dhammajarinee<br />
Witthaya School with over 1061 students from<br />
kindergarden to grade 12 .
All students meditate together two times a day as<br />
part of their routine
7 days a week, 365 days a year,!<br />
our school creates an influence of !<br />
harmony and peace for our world.
We want to help many more girls in <strong>Thailand</strong> and<br />
build a better future.<br />
We need your financial support.<br />
This year, we had to stop accepting new students<br />
because our current dormitory is fully occupied.<br />
Currently we give 1061 students free education.<br />
Our goal is to increase to 1500 students in the next<br />
three years.
We need funds of !<br />
$1.1million USD, to construct and furnish a new<br />
dormitory building for up to 900 more students.!<br />

Together we can make a difference.
