Nanchanok Wongsamuth a BBC Thai reporter has recently published an article on the lack of education for asylum seekers in Thailand and the underground
\n schools that Charities like BPCA are creating in partnership with the beleaguered community. <\/p>\n

You can view the BBC Thai article (here)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Our school in Thailand was videoed during our Chairman’s trip to Bangkok when he introduced Chris Rogers of the BBC to asylum seekers in 2015. 
\n At the time it was removed from the final edit of the documentary due to being too professional-looking which might have clouded people’s judgement
\n of how hard Pak-Christian asylum seekers struggle.<\/p>\n

After the first two images in this article (click here)<\/strong><\/a> is a video that
\n shows our school operating in 2015, there were around 40 children then in two rooms. You can view the BBC Documentary that was finally aired in 2016
\n (here)<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

We have only added images of the BPCA school to this story as it was too short notice to obtain permission form the Lions of Judah School. We are extremely
\n proud of the level of education we provide at our school and the structures we have built to ensure our schools are run professionally, with good hygiene
\n and with a mix of academic and physical education using the open areas around the condo for supervised games. We pay professionally qualified teachers
\n from amongst the Pak-Christian asylum community to operate our schools and front all costs. This year we are adding 5 computers to each of our initial
\n schools and hope to introduce more to a planned additional school later in the year, with your help.<\/p>\n

Our work is ongoing and despite a paucity of funds we have recently committed to opening our third school after requests from a new community of asylum
\n seekers we have discovered (click here).<\/strong><\/a>     <\/p>\n

With your help we can make the lives of many more children one of literacy and educational development with appropriate levels of play and interaction
\n with peers. If you would like to help please donate by clicking (here)<\/a>. <\/strong><\/p>\n

To help you I share an unofficial translation of Nanchanok’s article which she has provided for use on our blog:<\/p>\n

After four years awaiting refugee status, Pakistani Christians who have escaped religious persecution to Thailand are sending their children to study in underground \u201cschools\u201d- the only place which brings hope, knowledge and childhood back to the lives of the kids. BBC Thai\u2019s Nanchanok Wongsamuth reports on these learning centres, the children and their struggles. <\/strong> <\/strong><\/p>\n

15-year-old Sunny* remembers the last time he played cricket four years ago. The sport is very popular in his home country of Pakistan, and he and
\n his friends play gather to play every day after school.
\n
After leaving his country at the time, along with five family members, he longed for his past childhood. But his dream came true three months ago
\n when he was able to play the sport again with 15 classmates.
\n
\u201cIt felt good and very memorable…It\u2019s been four years that we haven\u2019t been able to go out,\u201d Sunny told BBC Thai in English at a learning centre
\n in an apartment in Bangkok.
\n
A total of 16 Pakistani Christian students aged 4-20 years study at the learning centre. The families of these children have fled religious persecution
\n in Pakistan.
\n
For these families, sending their children to study in learning centres is the best thing a parent can give to their children amidst their illegal
\n status in Thailand.<\/p>\n

GOT NOWHERE TO GO<\/h1>\n

A learning centre called \u201cThe Lions of Judah\u201d used to be located in an apartment on the outskirts of Bangkok. The room was owned by Jacob*, a Pakistani
\nChristian who co-founded the centre and is now a teacher there. The place had to be relocated three months ago after some families were forced to leave
\nthe apartment for safety issues.
\n
The new apartment, where several Pakistani families reside, houses two learning centres.
\n
With a rental fee of 5,000 baht per month, residents say they feel somewhat safe despite their illegal status, since the landlord understands the situation
\nof Pakistani Christians seeking refuge in Thailand.
\n
Since relocating here, \u201cThe Lions of Judah\u201d has had four additional students, and is working with students ranging from high school English proficiency
\nto a nine year old with disabilities.<\/p>\n

Out of the 16 students, only three have received refugee status from the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), while the other 13 applications
\nhave been declined, even after appeals.
\n
\u201cThe Lions of Judah\u201d was set up in April last year with the help of Everett and Laurie Miller, a husband and wife from Alabama. After regular visits to
\nthe Immigration Bureau\u2019s Immigration Detention Centre (IDC) and talking to parents, the couple helped Jacob\u2019s family set up the centre using their own
\nexperience in home-schooling their three children. Within six months, students at the centre were able to increase their English comprehension.
\n
Laurie said although the centre is not as up to standard as a regular school, it will help the students become more integrated into schools if they do
\nget resettled to another country.
\n
\u201cIf nothing else, just to give them hope so they\u2019re not just living in this dark depression,\u201d she said.
\n<\/p>\n

GIVING HOPE<\/h1>\n

On the whiteboard, Jacob meticulously writes down a passage from the Bible which encourages Christians to be patient during persecution.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe situation is very bad for us, but we\u2019re still patient and pray,\u201d he said.
\n
Passages from the bible, music and art are a channel for the children to express their feelings and emotions at a time when they are still awaiting hope.
\n
The Millers sought funding from a Christian NGO called Baptist Global Response to purchase 10 tablets for the centre to use for learning, using an American-based
\nhome-school curriculum.
\n
Only two months earlier, the students had to sit on the floor to studying. But after receiving more funding, they were able to purchase tables and chairs,
\nas well as books and educational toys to use alongside subjects in science, English, music, art and Christianity.
\n
Apart from helping out at the centre, the Millers are also training five Pakistani parents whose children do not study there, on how to home-school. In
\nFebruary, they plan to set up another learning centre for 18 Sri Lankan students.<\/p>\n

LEAVING HOME TO TEACH<\/h1>\n

25-year-old Jacob is among the wave of Pakistani Christians who fled to Thailand in 2014. One of the main reasons was due to the 2013 attack at Joseph
\nColony, a Christian neighbourhood in Lahore, where several houses were burned down.
\n
At the time, Jacob was a medical student. His family lived in a Christian neighbourhood in Karachi, which was also next to a Muslim community separated
\nby only a small road.
\n
One day in 2013, Muslims from the nearby community wrote down slogans on the walls of a church in Jacob\u2019s neighbourhood. The slogans, which included,
\n\u201cLong live Taliban\u201d, also encouraged the killing of those who didn\u2019t accept Islam.
\n
Residents of Jacob\u2019s community protested against the act, and the Muslim community fired guns as a response, resulting in several injuries. When his community
\nwas attacked a second time, Jacob moved to Hyderabad, which is around 140km from Karachi. His family eventually decided to move to Thailand after sensing
\nthat it was still not safe.
\n
Jacob said although he feels a lot of pressure from his work as a teacher, he thinks this is a calling from God so he can serve his community.
\n
In an earlier interview with BBC Thai, the Pakistan Embassy in Thailand denied that violence between religious groups existed in Pakistan. Aamir Naveed,
\na counsellor at the embassy, said there are no attacks on Christians, and Christians have equal rights as Muslims.
\n<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

BEING DENIED<\/h1>\n

On the same floor as \u201cThe Lions of Judah\u201d is another learning centre with 15 students aged 4-16 years. Most of them have fled religious persecution from
\nLahore and Karachi.<\/p>\n

Ruth*, who has been teaching at the centre for a year, said the number of students is lowering every day – from around 25 students last year- because
\nmany of them have returned to Pakistan with their family after being denied refugee status.<\/p>\n

Ruth herself has been denied refugee status and submitted an appeal on June 2 last year. She is still waiting for the results.
\n
Ruth claimed that she and five other family members were threatened to death by \u201cMuslim extremists\u201d in Lahore. They chose to come to Thailand because
\nher uncle had arrived here earlier, making her thinkthe country was a safe place. But that decision caused her to have to end her three-year career working
\nas a nurse in a well-known private hospital in Pakistan.
\n
\u201cWe can\u2019t go back to our country. If we go back, we die,\u201d the 28-year-old told BBC Thai. \u201cThey [Muslim extremists] always think that every person who
\nisn\u2019t a Muslim has no right to live.\u201d
\n<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

AMIDST FEAR<\/h1>\n

The centre has two teachers teaching science, religion, mathematics, English and Urdu.
\n
Classes start at 9AM with prayers and singing in English. One a week, exams are held. Ruth said she tries to teach the students English so that they can
\nsurvive in a third country where English is the main language.
\n
The teachers also provide moral support for students who are constantly in fear of being arrested by authorities.<\/p>\n

Ruth said the children are becoming more stressed each day, but she understands how they feel and is able to console them as she is in the same situation.
\n
\u201cIn our rooms, when someone knocks on our door early in the morning, we get scared. Maybe it\u2019s the police or immigration,\u201d she said. \u201cStudents are also
\nafraid…especially the youngest, who is always depressed and scared. It sends a bad effect to their mind.\u201d
\n
Ruth also teaches the students self-protection, especially for female students, whom she shows the appropriateness of people touching different parts
\nof the body.
\n
Wilson Chowdri, chairperson of the UK-based British Pakistani Christian Association (BPCA), said his organisation has been supporting two learning centres
\nin Bangkok BPCA for around two and a half years, and will open a third one soon.
\n
Mr Chowdri said his organisation receives donations from Christians worldwide, and has four safe houses in Pakistan for victims of religious persecution,
\neach holding up to six people.<\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

TARGETS<\/h1>\n

At the IDC, Nargis Iqbal is dressed in traditional Pakistani clothing as she stands clinging to the bars right next to the area where items are checked.
\nShe smiles as she sees her husband, who visits her daily to bring her food.
\n
Visitors are allowed no privacy. BBC Thai talked to Mrs Iqbal at the IDC by shouting amidst the cacophony of voices of the detained and their visitors.
\nSeveral dozens of detainees are lined up behind 21 m of steel bars while they meet their visitors, who are also forced to stand behind steel bars. The
\ntwo sides are one metre apart.
\n
Mrs Iqbal said she was detained at the IDC for two years and five months. She used to teach at a learning centre at a condominium in PrachaUtit Road,
\nand was arrested there. At the time, there were 67 students, but some fled during the arrest and others were released after UNHCR negotiated their release.
\n
One of the BPCA\u2019s learning centres was raided in 2015 in an apartment in SuthisanRoad. At the time, 12 people were arrested.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

According to the Coalition for the Rights of Refugees and Stateless Persons, there are currently over 40 children detained at the IDC. Almost all were
\narrested with their parents. Around 20 children are in the process of seeking refugee status.<\/p>\n

On Jan 23, another nine children were arrested in the Onnut area.<\/p>\n

Hannah Macdonald, an associate external relations officer at the UNHCR office in Bangkok, told BBC Thai that UNHCR opposes the routine detention of refugees
\nand asylum-seekers, particularly for children and other vulnerable groupsas a matter of worldwide policy. In this respect, UNHCR is encouraged by steps
\ntaken by Thai government towards ending the detention of children and remains available to support in advancing these efforts.<\/p>\n

The Thai government is in the process of creating a domestic mechanism to screen, protect and give rights to illegal immigrants and refugees during their
\nstay in Thailand. This is in line with a cabinet resolution in January last year, in which one of the measures included stopping child detention.
\n
The Immigration Bureau spokesperson could not be contacted at the time this article was published.<\/p>\n

Foreign Affairs Ministry spokesperson Busadee Santipitaks said although Thailand is not a party to the Convention on the Status of Refugees in 1951, Thailand
\nis committed to providing humanitarian assistance to these people and is in the process of considering to become a party.<\/p>\n

“Thailand needs to seek a balance between law enforcement to prevent the negative impact from migration and the maintenance of the humanitarian principles
\nthat Thailand has always upheld. Especially now that many legal and illegal immigrants have sought shelter with the UNHCR in Bangkok, with more than half
\ncoming from Pakistan,”she told BBC Thai.<\/p>\n

Nargis said she is sick and her mouth hurts, making it difficult for her to eat. She has an appointment with the doctor on Feb 14.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s better to die in Thailand than go back to Pakistan,\u201d she told BBC Thai.
