The Naung Bo Kantaw Kalay village, named after a nearby lake, No. of students 458 (205 boys and 253 girls) moved around a lot in the past, but finally settled on its current location as it is a good spot for farming. The No. of teachers 14 (13 women, 1 man) village has a population of 1,149 residents and is home to 181 households. They rely mostly on subsistence No. of buildings 2 new buildings each with 4 farming for their livelihoods. The village does not currently have electricity, but plans to get street electricity classrooms, and 4 toilets installed in 2021.

Currently, the school serves 458 students (205 boys and 253 girls) ranging in age from five to 16 years old, and employs 13 female teachers and one male teacher. Kantaw Budget USD 130,717 Kalay Branch High School consists of four buildings currently: a temporary wooden building, two cement Construction period February - October 2021 buildings supported by the government in 2014 and 2019, and a building built by the community in 1996. The two cement buildings are in good condition, and will continue to be used. The building built by the Project manager Laweh (That Lwin Oo) community is in good shape, but needs a new ceiling installed. The temporary wooden building was built for Location Naung Bo Kantaw Kalay teacher housing, is small, and lacks appropriate partitions. It creates a loud, distracting and unconducive Hsi Hseng township environment for learning and teaching. Additionally, the school experiences quite a bit of overcrowding in Shan State its classrooms, sometimes having more than 50 students per classroom. To address this situation, we have Myanmar decided to support Kantaw Kalay Branch High School with the construction of two new concrete buildings with eight classrooms and four additional toilets. The new school buildings will replace the temporary wooden building, and provide much needed space for additional classrooms. The new school buildings will Map also emphasize the importance of education and provide an incentive for the students to continue and complete high school level education. After implementation, the school will consist of 16 classrooms and 12 toilets. This will cater to the expected growing student numbers in the coming academic years. The additional toilets will also help improve the sanitation standards at the school. Implementation Kantaw Kalay Branch High School is a government registered school. The government will support the teachers’ training and salaries, provide the curriculum and materials for teaching and learning. Our approach is to always involve the community in the project to encourage ownership and community development. For this project the villagers have agreed to excavate, fill, and level the land, as well as provide unskilled labour, bamboo for scaffolding, water and rocks. For the actual construction, we will collaborate with a local contractor to coordinate all phases of construction and to purchase standard construction materials locally, as well as to arrange for the required furniture. The contractor will be paid in four instalments based on the construction progress, with 5% of the labour cost held back for one year as a Photos guarantee for the quality of the work. The community will manage transfers for payment and oversee the construction in general. Our local team will follow-up on the construction progress on a regular basis to ensure our high quality standards are being met. The community will be responsible for the maintenance of the school after construction is completed. Kantaw Kalay Branch High School can be reached by all vehicles in any season. The village is located just off a main road. Construction is due to commence in February 2021 and is targeted to be completed in October 2021. We consider this a low risk project based on geographical and political factors.

  • The Golden Triangle Opium Trade: an Overview by Bertil Lintner Chiang Mai, March 2000
    The Golden Triangle Opium Trade: An Overview By Bertil Lintner Chiang Mai, March 2000 The Beginning Contrary to popular belief, the poppy has not always been a major cash crop in the Golden Triangle—and nor has the sale and consumption of opium always been illegal. Prior to World War Two, all countries in Southeast Asia has government-controlled opium monopolies, not unlike the tobacco monopolies today. What was illegal was to smuggle opium and to trade without a licence. Most local addicts were ethnic Chinese, who had migrated to Southeast Asia's urban centres in the 19th and early 20th centuries—and brought with them the opium smoking habit from their old homes in China. In the beginning, Thailand (then Siam) had actually tried to stop the practice. In 1811, King Loetlahnaphalai (Rama II) had promulgated Siam's first formal ban on selling and consuming opium. In 1839, King Nangklao (Rama III) reiterated the prohibition, and he introduced the death penalty for major opium traffickers. These efforts, however, were doomed to failure. Ethnic Chinese traffickers could be arrested and punished—but a much more powerful institution was pushing Siam to open its doors to the drug: the British East India Company, which had initiated large-scale cultivation in its Indian colonies, and was looking for new export markets in the region. Thailand was never a colony, but that did not mean that it escaped the scourges that had fol- lowed foreign rule in neighbouring countries. Finally, in 1852, Siam's revered King Mongkut (Rama IV) bowed to British pressures.
