Moonlight Schools

Since 2009, Blood Foundation has been running evening schools in ethnic minority villages, including Shan, Palaung, and Red and Black (Sheleh) Lahu villages. The purpose of these projects are to provide supplementary education to students whose first language is not Thai and whose parent may not have had formal education.The schools open every weekday evening for two hours. In all of these schools, the age of students attending ranges from 6-13 years.

Located in the Red Lahu section of Nong Tao Village, this school is the longest running Blood Foundation a moonlight school. Kru A, a certified government teacher, now retired, teaches her students Thai reading and writing as well as Math. Her teaching method is unique in that she allows older students to lead exercises during the lessons, allowing them to learn better by teaching their younger peers. Kru A is currently being assisted by Sataporn, a young graduate of the local school.
