We are pleased to welcome and introduce the three new candidates at the La Salle House of Studies Sampran, Thailand.
1. Peter Pramot Niyomtham (18) from Amnaj Charoen Province
I have come to know about the De La Salle Brothers through my older brother. My vocation journey began when I was awarded a scholarship at Miquel House in La Salle Chanthaburi School. My interest in the life of the Brothers led me to decide in joining the La Salle Juniorate in Nakhon Sawan after passing 9th Grade. There I grew up in my faith and learned more about the De La Salle Brothers. Finally I decided to take the next step as Aspirant at the La Salle House of Studies in Samphran.
2. John Baptist Kittikhun Hongnee (19) from Sakon Nakhon Province
While I was trying to get entrance to different universities after my great 12, my grandmother happened to talk to the mother of Br. Bennedict Chaiwat, FSC. My grandmother learned about the De La Salle Brothers from that particular talk and she encouraged and persuaded me to join the De La Salle Brothers Congregation. I started to studied the history of the Brothers and found that this congregation provides human and Christian education to children especially the poor. Then I realized that might be my religious vocation to teach like my parents who are also teachers for the blind. So, I decided to join the La Salle House of Studies in Samphran.
3. Augustine Radi Sawantungkae (19) from Chiang Mai
I was born, raised and studied on the mountain area without any opportunity to know the De La Salle Brothers. It so happened by chance that I spoke to a Redemptorist priest who was visiting my village. It was through this kind priest that I heard and learned about the educational works of the De La Salle Brothers. I was so interested that I started to studied and fine information about the Brothers. Helping young people, who do not have the opportunities to get good education for their future, is also my dream. So, I decided to join the La Salle House of Studies in Samphran.
