Projects: Bio Bia Village School
In June 2007, with the help of Western Montana RPCVs donation, the Mountain School Uniform Scholarship Fund awarded 81 school uniforms to students at Bo Bia Village school in Phayao, Thailand. We received 57 thank you notes from the students. Many thanks to the WMRPCV group for their support! If anyone is interested in donating funds for next year’s school uniform drive, they can contact me.
