Fire-gutted school seeks public donations for new building
The director of a public elementary school in Mahasarakham province on Saturday pleaded with the public for donations for a new school building and purchase of tele-education equipment after the school’s old building was destroyed in a fire last month.
Ratana Yoskamthorn, the director of Ban Nong Klong Huakhua School in tambon Kudrung in Kudrung district, said the fire destroyed a one-storey wooden school building that housed five classrooms of grade 4 to grade 6 students and a library as well as activity rooms.
The school has 124 students from kindergarten to Grade 6 levels.
She said the tambon administrative organisation had offered to allocate over Bt600,000 budget for the construction of a new school building but red tape would likely delay construction until next year.
As a result, she had decide to organise a public donation campaign for the new building so that teaching could resume when the new school year begins in June. Since her school needs to use a satellite-based tele-education system, she is also soliciting donations of TV sets.
She said donations could be made at the Bank for Agriculture and Agricultural Cooperatives’ account number 020-09940-931-3 or contact her at 083-340-1593.
