Our Mission
To raise
awareness around the world about the need for public education in Burma. Our
purpose is to construct more schools and hire more teachers throughout the
country in order to put more children through school. With education, Burmese
children have a chance to rise out of poverty and pursue their lifelong dreams.
"There are many who cannot afford to go to school and sometimes I ask the children "do you go to school" and it's sad because some of the children are ashamed because they can't go to school so they say "yes". But if you ask their mothers they will say "no, we used to send the children to school but now we can't because we cannot afford it". You know that the number of children who cannot go to school has risen in Burma. I should say percentage because if course the increasing population may increase the numbers and not necessarily the percentage but in Burma the percentage of children who cannot go to school has risen and the percentage of children who cannot complete primary school has risen over the last decade."
