ACCOMPLISHMENTS:
Since 2013, Project KARE has made annual trips to deliver school supplies to 4,000+ students, including pens, pencils, notebooks, chalk, erasers, more than 65 used laptop computers, printers, copy paper, plus an 11 Kw diesel generator. Thanks to your generous donations, students now develop computer skills to help open doors for the few employment opportunities that exist with NGOs in camp and to help prepare them for resettlement in a new country. Project KARE has facilitated trips for many volunteers to teach at Mae Ra Moe refugee camp. One consistent request in our meetings with education leaders in camp is .... "we would love to have more volunteer English teachers for our students!" If you know an adventurous teacher who might be willing to travel to rural northern Thailand to help the Karen people, please have them contact us! WHO WE ARE:
Project KARE has three founding board members. Su Baw and her family lived in Mae Ra Moe Refugee Camp from 1995 to 2010 before being resettled in Aurora, CO. Michaely is the Adult Education Director at the Asian Pacific Development Center (APDC) where Su Baw and many other Karen refugees study to improve English language skills. Ron Levis is Su Baw’s ESL Tutor at APDC and he volunteers teaching English at Mae Ra Moe and in Karen State. HOW YOU CAN HELP:
