The Foundation has the following three kinds of support programs:
Projects
Foundation supports Boarding Houses, Schools, Teachers, Parents, and Student Scholarship Programs in India. Boarding Houses allow children living in remote areas to attend schools in larger villages. Schools like that shown on the right provide primary education to hill-tribe children. Teachers working without pay, hiding in the jungle from the Burmese forces are given a stipend. Very poor parents are given support so they can send their child to school.
Study Grants
Study Grants allow children to attend government middle schools and high schools where they can learn the Thai language and complete their high school diplomas. Study Grants are also given for taking language courses in English or Thai, and for vocational studies. Sukyira, shown on the left, is studying accounting at a vocational school in Mae Sot. The average Study Grant is about $166.
Leader Interns
The Leader- Intern program seeks to educate persons who have a concern for the well-being of their people and commitment to service. In 2005, we supported over one hundred Leader-Interns in a variety of programs including business, medical studies, nursing,biology, teaching, engineering, computer science, and southeast Asian studies. The average Leader-Intern award is $702.
