Once the school is built, it will be brought to Samut Prakan by mid-March in order to begin the next phase of the mission. The completion of the construction has been looked forward to by its proponents- the Centre of Architecture and Human Rights (CAHR), KMUTT architecture students and Yumiko Kan, a volunteer student from the Development and Emergency Practice Program at Oxford Brookes University. More so, the project is funded by the Architect’s Association of Alberta, Building and Woodworkers’ International and The Lighthouse Club of Bangkok.
In particular, the emergence of the program is based on the need to address some of education and health problems which confront the migrant workers. Ajarn Graeme Bristol, Executive Director of CAHR and presently one of the best professors in SoA+D, KMUTT, is working on this socio-civic scheme. By his active involvement in the community, he sets an example how architects can make a difference in a dynamic society. To know more information about the existing project, you may browse the website, http://www.architecture-humanrights.org/portable_school.html , or type in The State We’re In (http://www.radionetherlands.nl/thestatewerein/otherstates/tswi-090117-architects).
To sum up, the portable school is a dream come true to all migrant construction workers and their families whose right to education and health can be supported by this service-oriented work.
