Our generous and well-considered actions can inspire hope and confidence in difficult times. Your generous and well-considered donations would make it possible for us to take our international team of well-trained young adults to a Thai border town in September. Our aim will be to provide emotional, intellectual, and material support to Myanmar teachers and friends we have already worked with, and who are doing important work in that region under difficult conditions.
We lost a large portion of the funds slated for this program under the current US administration’s slashing of humanitarian aid programs. Yet the program has value! Many graduates of our SENS and Myanmar Teacher programs are doing extraordinary work teaching the children of displaced and migrant Myanmar families, while also fashioning the foundation for a new democratic and student-centered educational system for Myanmar. Having lost funds, we need your help more than ever to continue our support for the network of Myanmar teacher communities living in exile.
Any donation of $100 or more (up to $1,000) is eligible to receive bonus funds. The amount of bonus funds will depend on how much we take in over a 24-hour period compared to other fundraising organizations.
The campaign will be active from July 16th at 10:00 am EDT (New York Time) to 10:00 am EDT on July 17th. For Thailand, Vietnam, and Indonesia, that works out to starting at 9:00 pm on July 16th, and going until the same time the next day. Japan would start at 11:00 pm on the 16th, India and Sri Lanka at 7:30 pm.“
