Supporting Refugees and Migrant Workers in Mae Sot, Thailand



Mae Sot is a town located in the Tak Province of Thailand, near the border with Myanmar. Due to political and economic instability, many refugees from Myanmar have fled to Mae Sot and surrounding areas seeking safety and better living conditions. These refugees, many of whom are ethnic minorities, often face significant challenges, including poverty, limited access to education, and restricted access to healthcare and basic services.


In addition to refugees, Mae Sot is also home to a large number of migrant workers from Myanmar who come to Thailand in search of work opportunities. These workers are often employed in low-paying jobs in industries such as agriculture, construction, and manufacturing.


As a result of these circumstances, poverty is a significant issue in the Mae Sot area. Many families struggle to make ends meet, and children are often forced to drop out of school to help support their families.


Our church is committed to helping those in need, especially refugees and migrant workers fleeing from the Myanmar border. Due to political and economic instability, many people have been forced to leave their homes and seek safety in the Mae Sot region of Thailand, searching for better living conditions. However, these refugees and migrant workers face many challenges, such as poverty, limited access to education, and difficulty in accessing healthcare and basic services.


Therefore, our church has decided to take action by teaching basic Thai, English, Chinese, and computer courses to help these individuals improve their skills and future development prospects. We believe that these courses can provide them with practical skills and create more job opportunities for them.


Although we have been making efforts to help these people, we still need support from people around the world. We hope that more people will join us in providing help and support to those in need. This can be achieved in many ways, including donations, volunteer services, and raising awareness about the challenges faced by these refugees and migrant workers. We believe that with our collective efforts, we can create a better future for these individuals.



Jeremiah 22:3 (ESV)
Thus says the Lord: Do justice and righteousness, and deliver from the hand of the oppressor him who has been robbed. And do no wrong or violence to the resident alien, the fatherless, and the widow, nor shed innocent blood in this place.



Basic Thai Class





We are committed to providing basic Thai language training for refugees, aiming to help them better adapt to Thai culture and way of life. Learning Thai can not only improve their convenience in daily life in Thailand but also promote their communication and integration with the local community. By teaching simple Thai language conversation, we hope to help them express their thoughts and needs more confidently and fluently, thus improving their quality of life and happiness. Our training covers daily vocabulary, basic pronunciation, and oral expression, enabling students to learn practical language skills in class. We believe that through our training, refugees will be able to better adapt and integrate into Thai society, laying a stronger foundation for their future.



Basic English Class





In our program, we aim to equip our students with essential English language skills, including speaking and writing. We recognize the importance of being proficient in this global language, especially for those seeking to improve their opportunities in life. To achieve this goal, we utilize the Bible as a resource in our teaching methods. We believe that the Bible's rich vocabulary and timeless stories provide a unique and engaging way to learn English while also gaining valuable insights into moral and ethical principles. We strive to create a welcoming and supportive environment where students can develop their language abilities and grow as individuals.



Basic Chinese Class





Teaching them basic Mandarin conversation skills can significantly improve their communication abilities in their lives. By equipping them with this essential language, they will have better access to opportunities and resources, and can build stronger connections with others in their communities. We aim to provide a supportive learning environment where students can develop their language skills and gain confidence in using Mandarin for social and professional interactions. Our goal is to empower our students to improve their lives through effective communication and language proficiency.



Basic computer class





"We teach them basic computer skills, including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, email, and simple website building such as Google Sites and Blogger etc, to better equip them for future employment. These skills will help them with various tasks such as writing, spreadsheet creation, presentations, and email communication, enhancing their competitiveness in the workplace. We believe that by learning these practical skills, they can be more confident and proficient in handling modern computer and networking technology in their future jobs."



Matthew 25:40 NIV

“The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’



The education program we offer at our church aims to provide refugees with opportunities to learn Thai, English, Chinese, computer skills, and other valuable knowledge to help them adapt to their new environment and improve their quality of life. Our goal is to help them become more independent, confident, and integrated into society.


However, due to the lack of external funding sources, we can only rely on our own resources and enthusiasm to sustain this work. This financial constraint has left us feeling inadequate and unable to fully meet the needs of the refugees. We are acutely aware that without more resources and support, we will struggle to achieve our mission.


Therefore, we sincerely request your support and assistance. If you have any resources or funds that you can provide, or other ways to support our cause, we would be extremely grateful. Your help will provide us with more opportunities to expand our services and support more refugees.


Finally, we would like to express our gratitude to those individuals and organizations that have already supported us. Your support is critical to our ability to continue serving refugees. We will continue to work hard to ensure that refugees receive the support and assistance they need.

ABOUT OUR TEACHERS:



Our teachers are not only a group of caring volunteers, but also fellow refugees who were forced to leave their homes due to war and conflict. They came to this place and saw many children and young people who were unable to achieve their dreams due to a lack of knowledge. Therefore, they decided to use their own abilities to help these young people, enabling them to grasp basic knowledge and skills, and lay a solid foundation for their future.


They not only teach children basic Thai, English, Chinese, computer skills, and other subjects for free, but also built this website for our church. Our teachers understand the importance of education and hope to help these young people face future challenges through their own efforts. They believe that as long as everyone can contribute their own strength, society will become a better place.


Therefore, we welcome more people to join us and make contributions to this society. Let us work together and bring more positive energy to this world.



URGENT NEED



Our goal is to provide more effective assistance to refugees, but we face many challenges and difficulties. As a non-denominational independent church, we lack financial support. In addition, the recent political turmoil in Myanmar has led to the outbreak of internal war, forcing a large number of people to flee their homes and become refugees. Upon arriving at the refugee shelters, these individuals need to rebuild their lives, but they lack various necessary supplies, including educational equipment.


At the same time, the emergence of the pandemic has made the situation of these refugees even more difficult. They not only need to solve problems related to food and shelter, but also require basic medical care and education. As volunteer teachers, we strive to provide the necessary educational resources for these refugees, but due to the shortage of supplies, we face huge challenges. Our teachers are also among many refugees themselves, and they have their own difficulties and challenges to overcome in terms of their own lives and education.


In this situation, the learning process for students has become extremely difficult. They need computers and other educational equipment, but due to the lack of funds, we can only make do with very old computers and educational equipment. These devices often have problems, affecting the students' learning. We sincerely hope that you can empathize with our situation and support our educational cause by helping us provide necessary supplies and resources, so that these refugees can receive basic education and lay the foundation for their future. Every donation will have a positive impact on the lives of these refugees. Let us work together towards this noble goal.
