The use of Starfish in the name of the Starfish Country Home School Foundation originates from the famous parable of Loren Eisley, The Star Thrower. That story reflects the philosophy of the Starfish Country Home School Foundation of trying to give significant assistance to a relatively small number of benefactors.
Activities of the Starfish Country Home School Foundation are completely funded by the Richard P. Haugland Foundation, an American 501(c)(3) private foundation incorporated in Washington state. Dr. Richard P. Haugland is founder and president of both the Starfish Country Home School Foundation and the Richard P. Haugland Foundation. Along with Dr. Rosaria P. Haugland, he founded Molecular Probes Inc. in 1975. Molecular Probes was eventually sold to Invitrogen in August 2003. He was a chemistry graduate of Hamline University (St. Paul, MN) and received a Ph.D. from Stanford University in 1970. Drs. Richard and Rosaria Haugland received honorary doctorates from Hamline University in 2006.
The Vice-President of the Starfish Country Home School Foundation is Dr. Nanthaporn Seributra.
The Starfish Country Home School Foundation is not affiliated with any religious or political organization.
The Starfish Country Home School Foundation supports its own activities but also funds worthwhile programs in education, medical care and for street children in Asia. Its operating programs include the Starfish Homes in Maetaeng, the city of Chiangmai, in Chiangrai and in Bangkok.
