EMMANUEL SCHOOL, THAI BORDER WITH MYANMAR (BURMA).
The recurring payment appeal has enabled us to increase our regular support for feeding the children to £6k per year. The school has had problems with the latest flow of refugees from Myanmar government bombing as older children have received little or no schooling. These children have to start in lower age group classes which has cost extra money in books and equipment – we sent £1k to help with these costs.

The latest report from this project told us that as a result of increased repression by Government forces in Myanmar yet another wave of Christian refugees has joined the camp which is just over the border in Thailand increasing the number attending the school to 236 children.

The latest report from this project told us that as a result of increased repression by Government forces in Myanmar another wave of Christian refugees has joined the camp which is just over the border in Thailand. Altogether 37 additional children have joined Emmanuel School. We agreed with Revd. Tim Astin of the Good Shepherd that we can divert some funds that we jointly raised with them for another project to Emmanuel School. We can now send enough extra money this autumn so that the new children can also enjoy the lunches that we have been funding for the existing pupils over the last several years.
