Will you help a child have an education?

With the world economy failing to show any real signs of a recovery and in many countries actually going backwards there is an even greater need by charities to raise funds to help those people who are even less fortunate.

It is often the case that it is the children who suffer most and  their future prospects in life are often determined during their formative years, where a lack of education can be a hurdle they have to overcome if they wish to enter gainful employment. This is why at PSKSP we try our hardest never to turn away child who wishes to enter the school system.

In Thailand although schooling is free pupils have to supply all of the books, pens, school and Scout uniforms as well as the money for snacks at school. In many many cases these costs are simply beyond the resources of the family and when it comes to the question as to whether to spend money on food to feed the family or to send a child to school naturally feeding the family comes first.

The cost of supplying a child with everything that he or she needs to be able to attend school starts as low as 3500Baht a year, that is just £70 or USD111,  so for less than half the cost of a can of fizzy drink a day you could ensure that a child has an education. 100% of all of the money that PSKSP receives is used for the benefit of the children, no deductions are made for administrative costs as these are met by the trustees of the charity. 

At the moment we have twenty-four children who are shown on our website looking for sponsors who are willing to  give them the gift of a lifetime, the chance of an education. This is more children than we have ever had seeking sponsors at one time; with the school year having started just one week ago it is important that if the kids are to enter the school system then we try to find sponsors for them now.

Please take a look at our website and consider if you are able to help in any way.

It will not matter how big your bank account was, the sort of house you lived in, or the kind of car you drove. But the world may be a little better because your help touched the life of one child.
