TAK PROVINCE, Thailand – Navy Seabees and Thai Army engineers are constructing a new school building at Pa Ka Mai School to improve the quality of life of residents in the area as part of Exercise Cobra Gold 2011 Jan. 18 though Feb. 20, 2011.
The schoolhouse construction is part of a series of humanitarian civic assistance projects that include medical, dental, veterinary and engineering projects in remote locations throughout the kingdom. Thailand, Indonesian and U.S. service members are working on these projects to help strengthen the bonds between local Thai communities and the Thailand, Indonesia and U.S. armed forces.
“It’s a great honor to be … working with the American and Thai militaries,” said Sgt. Maj. Haskani, the lead engineer with the Indonesian Marine Corps engineer detachment supporting Cobra Gold 2011.
At the Pa Ka Mai School, the 7 by 20 meter schoolhouse the service members are building will provide 105 students with an environment suited for learning.
