Classrooms: Bamboo School - Sangklaburi, Thailand

These are 3 of the 4 classrooms at the Bamboo School. The mist shrouded mountain behind them is the Myanmar frontier.

This strip of Thai government land has no electricity.

The thatched roofs leaked during the last monsoon season, so Brother Victor had corrugated zinc panels installed over the thatching, and then held down with bamboo poles tied together. It substantially stopped the leaks, but while we were here a storm blew one of the zinc panels off of the roof.

It would seem hectic and loud enough to have 300 kids attending these open aired classrooms, right next to one another - but imagine the noise when the torrential rains of the rainy season come down on the zinc roof during school time!
