Stationary is Delivered to Ler Khaw school.

Last week the KED delivered the stationary we have funded to Ler Khaw school. Ler Khaw school is in the Karen state near the Thai/Burma border. The school is fairly unique in that it is supported by groups from both political sides. The school is in a DKBA controlled area and the teachers are funded by the Burmese Education Department. However, the Burmese Government does not supply stationary and in Karen communities such as this, the parents are too poor to buy the pens, pencils etc that the children need to attend school. Hopefully, initiatives like this will begin to unite the Karen groups which will strengthen the resistance against the regime. The KED delivered exercise books, pens, pencils, coloured pencils, scissors and other classroom materials. Each child was also supplied with toiletries which will be used in school to teach personal hygiene. Many thanks to everyone who has donated to ensure that these children have access to an education!
