Donation

In November 2014, our current funding comes to an end. Through our own fundraising efforts, we have managed to raise enough money to almost cover the rest of the 2014-15 academic year (for more, please see the success story The WH Fundraising Campaign.



Currently, we are looking for funding to cover the last part of the 3rd trimester of the current school year and the upcoming school year beginning in June 2015. No donations are too small (or too big!) and we accept any form of payment (including bank transfer to US or Thai accounts). 
 

We welcome any other form of contribution to the program as well. Our students are in constant need of school supplies, such as stationary, English fiction and non-fiction books, computers and similar items needed to successfully run a residential program for young adults. Finally, you can help us by volunteering your time, for example by helping us with fundraising.

Activities

Reality Comes From Dreams
Project in SAR safe house
It’s been over 5 months. We used most of our times and efforts in Community Development subject. We tried to create happy weekends by providing playing materials for children at SAW Safe House because they had passed the weekends without any active activities and it creates some problems such as arguing or fighting for limited available playing materials.
Based on community voices, we wrote a proposal to Room To Grow to support the unparented children in SAW Safe House to get enough playing materials.
The donor, Room to Grow selected our proposal to support these unparented children at SAW Safe House. So, they agreed to implement our project.Moreover, we are going to provide some activities which base on our action plan. We will go and play with children by some playing materials and tell some stories that help their general knowledge. So it can improve their education and can create a better effective weekend. However, it will take every Saturday for 4 weeks between February and March. Before the implementation, another two students joined in our project.They are very helpful for us because they take some responsibilities as their own. Surely, we are going to face some problems without them. However, we bought some playing materials that didn’t include in our planning. Finally we believe that these materials can create and improve their education and weekends activities, as well. Reality Comes From Dreams All in all, this is the first time for us working in communities without any benefits but we got a lot of experiences by helping community. Obviously, we found out that helping other people without any expectation is better than paid jobs because we got inner peace after we saw our projects were done successfully and we got a chance to wear on the
communities shoes.

Improving Community To Learn
What have Wide Horizons’ (WH) student done for communities? The students have done many things for the communities as the school proposed to do. The students are introducing a community that they conduct a project in 2015-16 academic year. Karunar  (formerly known as Elpis) dormitory’s’ community was very fortunate as they accepted 3 projects continuously from Wide Horizons (WH) students writing proposal to Room to Grow. Previous years, they got 2 dormitories for boys’ and girls’ students and safely fences for both of dorms. Also this year, WH students could fulfil this community needs by applying their skills that learnt from their school. WH students’ researched the Karunar dorms’ problem which was started with floor. According to the students and teachers, the sickness were from wet floor was increasing twice every year. Also, students were uncomfortable with the insects which came alongwith the wet floor. For this reason, six of WH’s students wrote a proposal to Room to Grow to solve for those problem by laying tiles on the floor. As the results of hard learning and working, they were acceptedthis proposal to implement project at Karunar dorms.
To implement this project, WH’s students hired some workers for implementing project and students helped to lay cement and tiles on the floors. While they were conducting implementation, they faced many contingencies like there were no workers on the day which they were supported to be at work. However, they could manage every process by using their critical thinking and problem solving skills that they gain from WH school. WH school taught them to know the accountability for their individual responsibilities which also
can help this project to be accomplished perfectly.
All in all, WH’s students have learned many things from this project which is how to deal
with the community and different people. The students learn in WH school is not only for practicing but also to develop the communities. After studying in WH school, they believed that they will apply those kinds of skills that they learned from class and practical projects to help their society effectively.

Program

The concept
 Community Benefit Organization (CBO) was founded in 2006 by Ma Myint and Education Program(EP) as a school where young adults inside Burma from the community could come to develop their English language, computer and community development skills while cultivating the thought process skills associated with effective leadership. By combining a student-centered, experiential approach to education with a curriculum that emphasizes group work, reflective practice, and critical thinking, CBO offers a program with impacts that reach beyond the classroom and into the communities it was designed to serve.
