In the spirit of helping, I encourage everyone to leave a comment about a charity project your favorite celeb is running that you feel isn’t getting the recognition it deserves.In late February, Senator Tom Cotton stood before his constituents at a town hall meeting at Springdale High School in northwest Arkansas and attempted to explain why the free market won't necessarily kill them. I think it’s admirable what Eliza and her friends are doing everyone everywhere deserves the right to an education, and you can believe that I’ll be making a contribution next week when I get paid. A lot of celebrities use their influence to do charity works such as this, but I feel like quite a few of them get lost in the shuffle or overshadowed by more famous people. I haven’t seen a lot of press about this and I wanted to spread the word. Your contribution will mean the world to them and me. We have a list of Thai and Burmese children waiting for the fees to lower so they can attend the school. We can help to further develop the Not for Profit structure so that it can be replicated in other parts of the World like Thailand and Myanmar.Īny donation, no matter how big or small, will make a huge difference. So this is where you step in… My hope is that you and I together, can save Koh Tao International Primary. When I came to visit I could see the education standard was fantastic, but if we could acheive rent free land then resources like playground equipment, proper sized classrooms and flushing toilets would be attainable.
However, the space they rent together with a private kindergarten is being sold.
Two years later, the school has become a reality and the children are thriving. Most importantly – Families could stay together. As we did the numbers we realised the more children that went to the school, the lower the school fees would go, and more children would have access to it.
To cut a long story short, Claire and I decided we would attempt a Not for Profit School, that was run only to cover its own costs to keep the fees as low as possible. Most children would never be able to access anything above a basic Thai education, something that Myanmar immigrant children would never benefit from when they return home, where Thai is not spoken. We noticed that Kasper’s lovely Thai and Myanmar immigrant friends were slowly leaving the island, many without their parents, to go to school far away where they could get a better education at an affordable price. Their parents, two of my best friends, moved there from Australia seeking inner and outer peace, stronger community and stronger values for their children to grow up with. So Eliza and her friend have launched a GoFundMe to help the school acquire rent-free land.Īs you have probably noticed from my instagram, I have two beautiful god children living on the Island of Koh Tao, Thailand – Kasper and Pepper. Unfortunately, the space that the school has been renting has been sold, and they can’t afford to move. I have built a not for profit school here with the mother of my god children and with a little help from you we can keep it running! Hey my loves, about to share something with you that’s been a labor of love for me here in Thailand for a couple of years now. Yesterday, Eliza announced on Twitter that, for the past couple of years, she has helped a pair of her best friends run Koh Tao International Primary, a non-profit primary school in Thailand. Eliza Taylor fights for what’s right as Clarke Griffin on The 100, and it seems that she also does so in real life.
