Update June 2023
The new school year for 2023-4 has commenced in the Migrant Learning Centres. We have continued to support all the students who have returned to continue their education, including one who is now studying for GED, and another who has moved schools. This year WWM are supporting 19 students. We are still interested to hear from students who wish to progress to vocational training, and are needing support.

Mentoring
WWM volunteers visit Mae Sot Migrant Learning Centres throughout the school year mentoring students with their Individual Development Plans, guiding them in planning to have realistic and achievable goals.
WWM began mentoring in 2018 with our scholarship students to provide information on school choices, goal setting and preparing resumes.
The mentoring program continues to grow and now includes students from various Migrant Learning
Centres in cooperation with school administrators.
The purpose of this program is to encourage and coach students:
-
To set goals and plan out the steps to achieve their goals.
-
To research their options for schools, training, scholarships.
-
To understand the Mentoring motto “MY Future is MY Responsibility”
