To know the structure of a proposal and what should be included in a proposal and write a proposal. News reports about children in northern Thailand Item 1 Over there you can see the school. As the village is poor, the school has no roof. There are no chairs either, so the children have to sit on the floor. When it rains, school is stopped. Many children, especially the girls do not go to school because they have to stay at home and help their parents and grandparents with the farming of their small pieces of land. Because of the lack of fresh water, many of the children have poor diets and do not eat enough meat. As a result, they do not grow properly and cannot concentrate on learning. There is often only one teacher to teach all the children even though they are of different ages. There is not enough money to pay the wages of more than one teacher in a village. Item 2 Tribal children speaking languages other than Thai have difficulty understanding standard issue textbooks written in Thai. Without Thai language skills, it is difficult for Tribal children to communicate with people outside their village and to earn a living when they grow up. Tribal schools in Maehongson are not equipped with resources to teach children who do not speak Thai as their first language. Books and instructional media are badly needed. Many children from poor, hill tribe or migrant families in Thailand never go to school. Many stateless children, disabled children and children living with HIV are also not enrolled(注册). Many tribal children in northern Thailand die each year from exposure(暴露,受冻), malaria(疟疾), dengue fever(登革热), other diseases and health conditions resulting from malnutrition and poor sanitation(公共卫生). In addition to the challenges just to survive, these children face overwhelming difficulties and risks.. Read the news above and find out the problems and the causes. Key points Problems
