BWA Assists School Reconstruction in Refugee Camp sent US$25,000 in


emergency financial assistance to a school in the Mae La Refugee Camp in Thailand to assist in the school’s reconstruction after it was destroyed by fire on April 28.


The Kawthoolei Karen Baptist Bible School and


College, located in the Mae La Refugee Camp near the Thai-Myanmar border, faces uncertainty as to the start of the next term, which was set to begin in June. The school offers general education to refugees and training to church leaders. More than 300 students are enrolled. BWA, through Baptist World Aid, its


relief and


development arm, is providing 50 percent of the estimated reconstruction cost of US$50,000. Additional funds of at least US$10,000 are needed for furnishing, equipment and school supplies.
