English Language Centre
Ministry in Thailand
This project will provide the resources to address low English language proficiency among students who are required, by the government, to learn English in school.
While it is a government requirement to learn English, there is limited support to gain language proficiency and little chance to practice. There are no opportunities for students and their families to access English lessons outside of school, though they know the benefit that a proficiency in English would provide for their futures.
Glenn and Liz are known in the community and have been approached by numerous families asking to help with English lessons.
Not only is this an identified need they can address but it is also an opportunity to deepen networks and to continue growing in trust as they focus on ministry among the Ethnic Thai.
A small English language centre has been set up to run highly subsidised English lessons. At this centre, they are offering specialised English classes to primary and secondary students on weekends with scope to offer adult and pre-school classes mid-week.
Classes have been running since early 2022 with great community engagement. The cost of the project covers rent and English teaching materials and resources as well as the ability to offer a highly subsidised, affordable rate to local families.
Located in Sangklaburi, Thailand, Jit and Jan have been working with others to make sure over 220 people
