He is trying to raise £8,800 in order to pay for materials and labour necessary to complete the construction of a new village school, which is needed to replace the old one school that was destroyed in the Cyclone.
The village of Hatin Kone contains 120 homes, and is composed of Karen people who are Buddhists. (There used to be a monastery and an ordination hall in the village, which were also destroyed).
Since the Cyclone, the villagers have struggled to recover from the loss of their livelihoods and have become even more poor. The main occupation in the village is betel nut farming, most of the villagers working are informal workers earning a daily cash wage.
The local community has been unable to afford to complete rebuilding the school so the children cannot receive a proper education.
Here is a breakdown of the costs
Bricks £2,960
Cement: £1,300
Wood £1,040
Sand £480
Nails £800
Zinc roof £1,360
Labour £860
TOTAL £8,800
