College-VBAC – Weerapong Ar Jor ‘s story
“My name is Weerapong Ar Jor. I come from
Myanmar and I’m the eldest son of the family. My
parents did not have the means to support my
education and I decided to do my best to make it
on my own. I therefore moved to Thailand and I had
the chance to arrive at VBAC where now I finally
graduated in accounting. I have never thought I
would have come this far. I am so grateful for this
amazing result and I would like to thank Pistorio
Foundation which has been supporting me through
its scholarship program since the beginning of my
studies in Thailand.
I promise that I will try to give back to society all the
gifts I was given and I will do my best to help those
who are in need”.
