Channel 9 has published a brilliant report on our FreeSchools in the northern Thailand border region following a visit there by FSWL-Canada President, Sue Tennant, Joanna Townsend and her mother Judy Townsend in January 2009. In this documentary, Jo Townsend reports firsthand on the problems that the Hill Tribe children face in that region and the help that FreeSchools World Literacy can provide in terms of much needed education.

As a result of the efforts of the Townsend family, as well as those of schoolteacher, Linda Alcorn, and their friends, some $10,555 has been raised in Australia for the Thai schools this year.

A further $2,466 was raised this year for the Indian FreeSchools in Bihar State thanks to the fundraising efforts of Melissa Alldis, Betty Lyon, Merindi Swadling, Kathleen Swadling and Julian Martin.
