Rare Dedication in Thailand
Daily roll call in the remote Umphang Wittayakom School is in English, notes the Bangoko Post, which is not bad considering these are students whose first language isn’t even Thai. In fact, 11 dialects are represented at the school, and the students come from all 26 hill tribe communities in the region. The school is a testament to the sheer determination of the human spirit that children here are getting an education, when only recently they would otherwise be growing corn on the side of a dusty field.
