Build schools for children in small villages of Thailand

Why build school?

At the time I went to my first school in Ban Harn, education beyond the four year compulsory education was rare for children in small villages. One very basic obstacle for higher education (higher than four years compulsory) is the lack of school. Of the thirty five students completing our four year compulsory education, only four were fortunate enough to continue on. I was one of the four students. Higher education for a student in any small rural town meant that the parents must see the importance of education, are able to find resources to make it possible, and committed to great sacrifice to enable their children to continue onward in their education endeavors. I believe that should the thirty one of my other classmates were granted with the same opportunity that I had, their chances to attain the better livelihood could have been possible since they were just as good and just as smart as the four fortunate ones. This lack of the most fundamental resources such as lack of school in a small town such as Ban Harn is the reason that compels me to envision building a school from which the children will be prepared for their higher education. My involvement with my children's education in the United States has provided me concrete evidence that the education program such as "Head Start" bestows a firm foundation from which the children will have the better chances of succeed in their higher education.
