Mae Sot Book Dispensary
Published on Aug 18, 2024 by Luke Hunt
Studio Bomborra is sponsoring the Mae Sot Book Dispensary to deliver books written in English, Burmese and Karen for children under eight years of age across the border from Thailand to a school in Myanmar. Key people involved in this are Ei Ei Love, David Armstrong and Luke Hunt. Please do not send money. If, however, you have old, unwanted books at home that are suitable for young children and you're prepared to send them via sea mail, then please post to the following address:
Mae Sot Book Dispensary: 61/21 Rat Uthit Road, Mae Sot Subdistrict, Mae Sot District, Tak Province, 63110, Thailand
Just a point out, not all postal services provide seamail to Southeast Asia and airmail can be expensive, so delivery depends on the country you are sending from. But if you happen to flying into Bangkok or sending from a nearby country, like Cambodia, then costs are relatively small. We are looking at expanding distribution points.
We would appreciate as much help as we can get. The school looks after 80 children who have been isolated into relative safety from the civil war in a remote corner of Myanmar. Regular deliveries of humanitarian assistance includes food, clean water, medical supplies, hand-me-down clothing and there is an allocation for books. Most of this is doable, however, there is a big shortage of children's books. Books written in English, Burmese and Karen are fine. Children are taught English from a young age. Cartoon and picture books that help to explain the written word for ages between 5 to 14 years old would all be welcomed.
If you have any books that are age appropriate and are not needed anymore then we can put them to good use. There is also a shortage of crayons, pencils and the sort of stuff children must have to learn how to draw and write. A small library has already been established by Ei EI at a school built by Karen Brigade 7. Surplus books, will be shared with other schools. There locations are not to be disclosed for security reasons.
We will also follow-up with Facebook posts, photos and a big thank you as books arrive. Feel free to email me at huntluke@gmail.com. Ei Ei can be reached on eieinwe1993@gmail.com
Sincerely,
Ei EI, David and Luke
