Welcome to Green Umbrella, Education for Children and Youth.

Philosophy

Our philosophy is to develop a society where citizens are both prosperous and happy. Citizens who are living in this community must embrace these four basic conditions: 1) must be hardworking (Karma) 2) must have at least one professional skill (Viccha) 3) must be knowledgeable (Dhamma) and 4) must have a personal ethic (Sila).

Therefore, Green Umbrella supports and gives opportunity to families and their children and youth who understand and want this kind of education in which these four conditions are integrated and valued.
