East Asia and the Pacific	Apu Palamguwan Cultural Education Center - Philippines. (APC). This grant partially funded ongoing operation of an accredited school that for more than twenty years has provided primary education, and has recently added secondary education, to children and youth in indigenous communities in the southern region of the Philippines. The school utilizes community resources and incorporates awareness of local issues into various learning experiences. The mission of APC is to provide an integrated, holistic, and culture-based education for indigenous children and youth. This is achieved by promoting and deepening the children's understanding of their unique culture, while providing knowledge and skills that enable them to confidently relate with mainstream Philippine society. This involves instruction in four languages, including English.	58,939	Wire to APC School treasury account	0
East Asia and the Pacific	Dhamma Loka school building construction grant. Build a School in Burma has had a long and productive relationship with Phaung Daw Oo Monastic School in Mandalay. In 2023 we partnered with PDO and Naung Taung Monastic School to construct a purpose built structure to house their satellite school Dhamma Loka in Southern Shan State. So far this area has remained relatively peaceful. The 87 students at Dhamma Loka will hopefully be joined by more children now that there is sufficient classroom space.	23,938	Wires to intermediary Buddhist monk in Thailand	0
East Asia and the Pacific	Htee Thay Kee school. Working with the village school committee under the leadership of a forceful principal, BSB completed Htee Thay Kee school in mid 2023. Our Austrian partner NGO Sao Bien provided key funding. Local villagers contributed lumber and some labor. BSB installed solar electricity that lights the school and dormitory at night. The school lies in a verdant valley like something out of the movie Lost Horizon. In the wet season, a mountain waterfall (source of the school's water) roars in the distance. Butterflies dance over lush vegetation. Eleven teachers instruct 160 Kindergarten - 7th grade students, 50 of whom live at the school. The new school replaces a falling down half-walled building with no classroom partitions.	10,600	Wire to Thai bank acct of Program Mgr's sister-in-law	0
East Asia and the Pacific	Grant to Laktaeng School for part of school's operating expense. Project with initiated by Partners Asia, a 501(c)(3). A BSB grant was primarily used to fund teacher salaries. Supporting costs for for running costs of this school at the Thai-Shan border for 191 children of refugees fleeing the ongoing conflict in Shan State. Shan refugees have no legal status in Thailand, and most work as undocumented migrants, extremely vulnerable to exploitation. Their children have very little chance to access education under the Thailand education system. Laktaeng school is thus fulfilling a vitally important need for education, while helping build a strong community among displaced Shan along the Thai-Burma border, providing hope and motivation for young people to continue working for their community in the future.	16,684	Wire Thailand bank acct of BSB program mgr sister-in-law	0
East Asia and the Pacific	New Wave Learning Center (high school): This outstanding school is led by a dynamic principal and has one repeated awards as the best of its kind. Because of his cooperative relationship with the Thai authorities, New Wave students are receiving standard childhood inoculations from the Thai Ministry of Health. A Thai language program for students helps them navigate their new home. Almost 170 students are studying here in grades Kindergarten through 11. New Wave uses the new Myanmar national curriculum adopted by the NLD government prior to the coup and will add a 12th and final grade next year. Because the school is on rented land with only a five year promise of occupancy, BSB country director Naing Lin Swe designed a steel frame building that can be disassembled and moved to a new site if necessary. Partner NGO Sao Bien helped fund construction of the new structure.	8,635	Wire to bank acct of an officer in Thailand NGO	0
East Asia and the Pacific	Grant for Nya Lay Ah Hta school to fund a construction of a new building. This kindergarten to seventh grade school in the cane fields north of Mae Sot lies just a stone's throw from the Myanmar border. Many of the 120 students travel here seasonally from inside that country to study away from the disruptions of ongoing civil war. With partner NGO Sao Bien, BSB replaced temporary half walled classroom structures with more permanent buildings and built a new toilet block. During construction several hundred Myanmar refugees fled across the border and to seek shelter at the school. When the violence subsided they were able to return to their villages.	9,043	Wired acct of Thailand NGO director	0
East Asia and the Pacific	Grant for solar energy lighting systems for schools of the Paung Dah Oo monastic school system. Grant by the Building a School in Burma program, (BSB). Solar lighting systems for the schools provide opportunity for students to study and do homework in evenings. BSB has worked with Paung Dah Oo on several school projects, mostly to construct new buildings. This project resulted in solar lighting systems in other Paung Dah Oo supported schools.	12,339	Funds wired to Paung Dah Oo bank account	0
East Asia and the Pacific	U Moo Tah High School. Grant from the Build a School in Burma program (BSB). To fund a new school building.Nestled in the rugged limestone mountains of Karen State U Moo Tah School counted 208 students, KG to 12th grade, but had no school building. 189 children live In dormitories, because their parents have sent them to this safe place from their homes in conflict zones. School was held in a rickety assembly hall without walls or classroom dividers until the new, steel frame six classroom building is complete. A gravity fed water system, solar electricity and a new toilet block will complete U Moo Tah School in late 2023. Fun fact: lumber for the school was hauled from the rainforest by elephants!	21,000	Funds wired to Thailand bank acct of reps for KECD	0
East Asia and the Pacific	Grant for a clean water system for The PIU school in Myanmar. The PIU school was started by Phaung Daw Oo Monastic Education School Principal, U Nayaka in 2014. It is located in Pathein Township, Mandalay Division. Around 100 students, 11 teachers, 2 nurses and 3 monks are currently living in the school compound. The water used before the system funded by the grant caused various health problems, for teachers, students, staff, and others. Water had to be boiled to be safe, and was impractical due to fuel costs and the difficulty of treating sufficient water by boiling. Outcomes: Access purified water resource from underground Provide enough water for over 100 people Malaria and diarrhea diseases caused by unclean water.	11,598	Wire to associates of Paung Dah Oo monastery	0
East Asia and the Pacific	White Learning Center, a grant from Build a School in Burma program (BSB), to help fund renovations, furniture, and sanitation, for a school in Thailand that provides education opportunity to Myanmar children, who are mostly refugees or migrant workers. The grant funded replacement of the roof for one classroom building, some classroom furniture, and one new latrine. The White Learning center is in Thailand, in an area near the Myanmar border. The Thai government permits schools for Myanmar children, but requires that they be identified as "Learning Centers", rather than schools. Without these learning centers, few of the Myanmar refugee children, and children of migrant workers, would be able to attend any school. This school is primarily funded by Grace Ministries, a US based church.	6,013	Wired Thailand bank acct sister-in-law of BSB program mgr	0

South Asia	Grant for operating costs and fund development: Mata Balak Utkarsha Pratishthan (MBUP) is a multi-social service organization serving a large rural area and is driven by the goal of services for the empowerment of rural women and their children. Utkarsh Vidyalaya, the largest program of MBUP, is a school serving approximately 1,000 students from pre-KG through high school. There is also a vocational training program for young adults and older students to learn income providing skills. After helping MBUP build and develop its high school facilities and programs, it was recognized that an ongoing issue was the year-to-year financial support that enables the school to admit all students regardless of their economic status. BSI, therefore, agreed to provide funds to support the shortfall in funds needed on a year-to- year basis to operate that school. Simultaneously an initiative was begun in India to develop an endowment fund to provide an ongoing, long-term source of income.	126,472	wire transfers to school bank account	0
South Asia	Grant for operating expenses for Anandaksaan Learning Center, in India. Anandakshan Learning Space (ALLS) is a grammar school founded in 2014 by a group of middle-class families with the goal of providing a high-quality education with a non-traditional teaching philosophy to their children. BSI proposed and ALSS agreed to expand and adjust the enrollment at the school so that at least 25% of the students will be from underserved and less advantaged families. BSI's grant subsidizes the cost of enrolling students who are not able to pay the normal fees. The school currently has an enrollment of close to 200 students.	41,197	Wires to grantees bank account	0

South Asia	Sondara Gurukulam Education Center (SGEC) is a school located in an extremely rural, isolated, and economically poor area. A large percentage of the students' parents are itinerant farm workers who move around the country per seasonal needs and opportunities. If the children move with their parents, they receive little-to-no education. SGEC was developed to address this issue, as well as serve children who live in local villages. There are approximately 180 students attending the school with approximately 80 percent living on the campus. BSI has assisted the school with development of new curriculums and equipment for basic science courses and purchase of digital equipment for computer technology learning.

ReturnReference	Explanation
Schedule F, Part I, Line 2	PBF provides a Proposal form to prospective grantees, stating PBF's mission, grant criteria, and grantee requirements, and how use of funds will be monitored. After a grant proposal has been submitted to PBF the PBF Executive Committee (EC) along with the Country Director (CD) evalue the proposal. Typically the CD and one or more of the EC will visit the site of the proposed grant project, meet with the grantee organization leaders, and gather information and make inquiries, to decide whether to make the grant. Documents include (1) Grant Proposal, (2) Budget; (3) Photos of proposed building site and environs. The EC, along with the CD, evaluate proposals primarily for the expected impact towards achieving PBF's mission. Documents are recorded in a "Slack" database in a channel for each grant. After a grant is made the PBF CD monitors to ensure funds are properly used in accord with terms of the grant, primarily through site visits and phone contacts. Records of site visits and contacts (generally including photographs) are saved in the Slack database, for access by members of the PBF EC. Throughout the year members of the EC and PBF board members review the results of each grant, including compliance with terms of each grant. For grants that are for operations, programs, or activities other than construction, a different review process is used. For grants made by the APC School and for Build a School in India, monitoring of grants is performed by review of periodic and annual reports from the grantee, and ongoing communication between the the PBF program manager and the grantee. The "cash" basis of accounting was used for all grants. The primary beneficiaries of PBF grants are the approximately 1,000 students in the schools that received grants from PBF this year. Other persons who benefitted include parents, teachers, and community members.

Schedule I, Part I, Line 2

Grant for scholarship to a Myanmar student. PBF is supporting a Myanmar graduate student, Khun Aung Aung, in studying for a masters degree in education in the US. Khun Aung helped organize several BSB school construction projects in Burma during 2020 and founded a monastic school program to equip young adult students with academic skills so they can study at foreign universities. His further education will complement BSB goals when he returns home to promote education. Tuition, books, and fees are paid directly by PBF to the school (University of San Francisco). A $500 per month stipend is paid to the student. Bob Cornwell, the manager of the BSB program is monitoring his performance and expenses.
