LSMHS

Paving new paths to their peak potential.

La Salle Mae Hong Son (LSMHS) is a private Catholic school run by the Institute of the Brothers of the Christian Schools.

As a response to the challenge of improving the lives of the Hill Tribe students of Khun Mae La Village in Mae Hong Son Region in Thailand, LSMHS is set to open in 202X led by Brother Matthew Chumkhamta FSC.

Bridging the gap.

LSMHS will offer Secondary Education to students in Khun Mae La and nearby villages and towns. The School aims to cater to 500 students in the Grade 7th to the Grade 12th.

Currently, there is no secondary school in Khun Mae La or any nearby town. The students who want to further their education past the Gade 6th need to move to other province or places far away from their home. Needless to say, the establishment of LSMHS will not only offer opportunity for secondary education in the area, but will also serve as a bridge for students to pursue Higher Education at the Jesuit Center or other universities in the other provinces.

Strengthening bonds.

By filling the gap in Secondary Education in the area, LSMHS also aims to strengthen the bonds and family ties among the Karen and Hmong tribes as the students will no longer need to sacrifice time by moving away from their families and communities in pursuit of education.

Furthermore, the establishment of LSMHS will open new job opportunities for the local people and those who have finished their university study.

Who We Are
A place for a nourished body and mind.

Sustenance plays an important role in the students’ development and learning. Help us raise funds for the construction of the 16x25-meter school canteen that will also serve as a place for the staff and the students to socialize and strengthen their community bond.

Who We Are
A place they can call their second home.

Help us in putting up the boarding houses for students who live from far away places. Plans are already in place for the construction of two dormitories, which can accommodate 25 boys and 25 girls each.

Who We Are
Even a small drop can create big ripples of change.

Help us raise funds for building the water supply facilities. LSMHS needs 20 units of 2000-liter water tanks to store water that will be outsourced from Khun Mae La falls located 3 kilometers away from the School.

Who We Are
Be the conduit of kindness that lights up their future.

Help us raise funds for outsourcing electricity for the School. An electrical line spanning 800 meters is needed to connect LSMHS to the end of the existing power supply of the Khun Mae La Village.

Who We Are
Within these walls begins limitless learning.

Help us build these rooms where classes will be held for the Hill Tribe Students in Mae Hong Son, Thailand. Construction will cover two 8x8-meter classrooms with 25 students each.

Who We Are
A view from the crow’s nest.

The administration house is where the De La Salle Brothers will live and conduct office operations. Help us in raising funds for the construction of the 1-storey, 7-room house.

There's more to the hills than meets the eye.

LSMHS will rise in Khun Mae La Village. The right to use of the 25-acre land was donated by the Diocese of Chiangmai to the La Salle Foundation for the purpose of building the School.

Jan 2021
Transfer of Rights of Land Use

Transferring the right of the land use cannot be done in January 2021 because of the pandemic. The land belong to the Thailand government's forest department. The La Salle Foundation has to apply for the lease of the land for 30 years. This is the common practice in Thailand. After thirty years, the Foundation will apply for the renewal of the lease.

Feb 2021
Breaking Ground

The breaking of the ground in February 2021 cannot be done because of the pandemic of covid-19. The village was closed for outsiders until December 2021.

Send a Hill Tribe student to school by donating.

True to our spirit of being Christians carrying on our Lasallian Mission of making education accessible to the poor and the marginalized, the means to help La Salle Mae Hong Son become a reality are countless
