School_in_Phuket_after_the_Tsunami

A school hit by the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami prepared to celebrate HM King Bhumibol Adulyadej\'s diamond jubilee in 2006.\nFrom Andaman news.\n\nThis is the recent situation at one of the worst hit schools during the 2004 tsunami. These are the images we collected during the first day of the new school year of 2006 on May 16th at Rajaprachanukhroh School at Kamala village in Phuket, a village badly hit by the wave. The school is being built under the Rajaprachanukroh Foundation under the king\'s patronage and funded by many organizations, Thai and foreign. By the new academic year of 2006, students had one new classroom building, dormitory and education materials as well as their uniforms and food with free education.\n\nThe 2004 tsunami changed some happy family children into lonely orphans but right after that, four Rajaprachanukroh schools were established to replace devastated ones. There is one in Phuket\'s Kamala, one in Phang-Nga, one in Krabi and another one in Ranong.\n\nThe Rajaprajanugroh Foundation came into being on 23 August 1963, after a storm devastated the southern province of Nakhon Si Thammarat. The name of the Foundation, which means \"\"the King and the People Helping Each Other,\"\" has been the governing theme for the work of the Foundation, that is, the King giving help to make people happy, so that he himself can be happy. When the people suffer, the King also suffers. His Majesty, therefore, solicits help for the King and the people to mutually alleviate sufferings.\n\nThis the similar situation at Rajaprachanukroh 35 school, established to replace the Ban Bangsak school in Phang-Nga after the tsunami. Students here are also granted new lives or educational opportunities due to His Majesty\'s initiative. The students here even have access to lessons via satellite as His Majesty the King has had his royally-sponsored distant-\nlearning via satellite broadcast program extended to schools in need. It is now extended to schools in the deep south which are facing troubles.\n\n\nThis is how Rachaprachanukroh school in Kamala of Phuket looks like today. It is filled with laughter and smiles of happy faces. A school teacher reflects their gratitude and love to the revered King.\n\n\"Without His Majesty the King\'s assistance, we would not have such a nice new school facility. Here less fortunate students are also granted chances to study until finishing high school. Local villagers were also given opportunities to stay without having to be relocated.\n\nI myself have been impressed with the king since my childhood. I saw him going around the nation. I try my best to follow his footpath.\"\n\nAs well as the gratitude of the students:\n\"I\'m so glad to be studying at the Rachaprachanukroh School. We have such a nice school to learn in. I will try my best to pay back for my beloved king.\"\n\n\nThe Rachaprachanukroh Schools established in the tsunami stricken areas of the Andaman coastal provinces of Thailand are now providing free education, food, and shelter, under the loving umbrella of King Bhumipol Adulyadej, all obviously above and beyond any more description.
