Mrs. Anabela Briggs, a former British volunteer for NCCM observed: «On our way back from visiting the Mae Sot Border Schools, I thought about the incredible faith these kids have in education; anything that looks
like knowledge is precious to them — even the study
materials we consider to be
outdated.
Unfortunately, every day millions of children in the United States attend dilapidated public schools with overcrowded classrooms,
outdated textbooks and
materials, harsh discipline policies and limited access to quality teaching and wraparound supports
like school nurses, college counselors and afterschool programs.
