Renovation of the Dormitories at Giu Lae Luang in 2020

September 16, 2020 

– Evaluation –
 
8 Years ago the Araya Foundation renovated an old unused building on the GLL School campus. This allowed the school to take in Hill Tribe children as boarding students and provide them with a better education.

Due do the years of harsh climate and the hundreds of children who have stayed here. The dormitories are in real need of another refresh. Here are some photos of the foundation along the school estimating the needs of this project.
