Cradle
and Festival Republic
are happy to announce that they have finished building of the Pakklong school
in Thailand. The
school was officially opened on the 13th October 2009. Pakklong
is a school in the Kapong District of Thailand, north of Phuket. It caters for
101 children between the ages of 3 to 12 years old. The old
school building was over 40 years old and dilapidated. It had only three
classrooms, which meant that children were packed into a very small space and forced
to work in hot and cramped conditions. The new
school building will provide much better conditions and improve both the
quality of the lessons and the students’ ability to work. We
hope that the new facilities will provide the children with the safe, calm and
inspiring environment they need to study. Ban Bang Muang school caters for 687 students and was destroyed in the tsunami. The junior infants building in the school was totally inadequate for the 207 children between the ages of 2 - 5 years attending the school. Cradle in cooperation with the principal and the school board came up with plans for the new school building and began building the school in September 2005. Work continued until February 2006 and the school was offically opened on the 17th February with Cradle's project director, the local govener, the school principal and all the pupils and staff in attendance.
