Scholarship Donation: 20 June 2005

The Jxxxxx family has two daughters: Rxxxxxxxx and Wxxxxxxxxx who are 15 and 16 years old. The father was killed in the tsunami and the mother is a housewife and is not employed. The children are good students maintaining 3.0 and 2.7 grades even with the loss they suffered.

They are from Phang Nga but attend school in Phuket and live at the school during the school year. The scholarship requested is to pay for room and board for them at the school so that they can continue to attend school. The amount is 8,000 Baht per year per student.

The scholarship candidates

I met with the teacher, the head of the school, the two girls, and Dr. Supalak from Childwatch today and presented the check for the first year of the scholarship for both girls.
