This is what the past year looked like around Loi Sam Sip School near the Thai-Myanmar border. Armed conflict. Travel restrictions. Displacement. Communities living in fear. And still, the children came to class.
This is exactly why this school exists, and why it matters. Teachers and students live within the community. Meals, dormitories, and daily care are all in place, so that a closed road or a security warning does not have to mean a closed classroom. When the world outside becomes unpredictable, the school stays open.
For children growing up here, that steadiness is everything. It is the foundation on which confidence, learning, and a sense of future are built, quietly, consistently, one school day at a time.
With heartfelt thanks to our sponsors for the 2025–2026 cycle: Lucendi, Wim van Klaveren & Anja, the Hosakul Family, Rob Cubbon, Jake Mooney, and PREM. Your support is what keeps this school open, no matter what surrounds it.
