Great News. Great Challenge 25 March 2014

67 new Burmese Migrant students sat an entrance test to join the Secondary Education Programme recently. That is twice as many as we have ever had. This great news also brings a great challenge. We have been working hard and have had many support us. We are halfway there. We need a further $50,000 to ensure we can meet the budget total. We'll be posting some more photos and updates on our facebook page to keep you informed. Our aim in the next month is to try and encourage 200 people to become monthly supporters - $20 per month will get us there. Share this opportunity with your friends. We'll send a monthly photo and story how your change makes a huge difference. Thanks. Keep connected by becoming a friend http://www.maristthailand.org/newsletter/
