Fund Isaan granted Wa a scholarship in 2014 when she was 18 years old. She was studying in her final year of secondary school at Buached Witthaya School and waiting for the result of her entrance exams to university.

Wa was one of the best students in her province. Her grade was 95% and she was the chairman of the student’s council at her school. She received a special reward from His Majesty the late King Bhumibol for her volunteering work. 

A touching thank you message from Nu;

“Thank you Mr. and Mrs. Raicher, for your investment in students like myself and in our Isaan region, you allowed me to focus on the most important aspect in life: learning. I hope that one day I will be able to help my siblings and others achieve their goals, like you’ve helped me. Continuing my studies would not have been possible without the generous support from you. Thank you for making this possible. ”
