CAF provides educational support to the Subsomboonpittayacom School, located in a remote area of North Central Thailand, in the Wangprajob District in Muang Tak, in the outskirts of the city of Tak, one hundred and fifty kilometers from the Thailand-Burma border. The children who attend this school live in the surrounding rice fields and farmland, are of low socioeconomic status, and travel long distances walking/cycling to school in unpaved roads. Subsomboonpittayacom School is a primary school with enrollment of 375 students in grades K-9.

Ms. Patharawan Yongchai, the school’s Third Grade Teacher, is on the International Advisory Board of CAF and is a veteran schoolteacher who has always worked with the poor and marginalized communities of Northern Thailand.

Children Art Foundation’s activities at the Subsomboonpittayacom School include the following:

1) Third Grade Art Project – Ms. Yongchai is working with her Third Grade students to create individual art pieces and a collective work of art in a yearlong project sponsored by CAF.

2) Financial Support – CAF provides financial support with unrestricted gifts to enhance art education given to the Subsomboonpittayacom School at the end of each semester. In addition, CAF provides the school with money to purchase art supplies.

3) Art Exhibitions – CAF is committed to organize and publicize “Gallery Shows” to showcase the children’s art projects. These will take place both on site at the Subsomboonpittayacom School and in a venue/community center in the city of Tak, Thailand.
