Moving forward and upward together, to co-create sustainable change
Dear Subscriber First Name,
Welcome to this month’s SPM newsletter!
Thanks for taking a moment to catch up with what has been happening with our project partners in Myanmar, and how your support is making a real difference on the ground. Your partnership is at the heart of every step forward, and we’re grateful to have you alongside us in this work.
OUR PROJECTS
Health for the Hidden
Our partner Earth Mission continue to see the significance and impact of the PA and ET training programs. The RTC hospital is the only hospital in the region able to provide routine patient care, as well as advanced and surgical treatment for more serious cases. The frontline clinic serves as a trauma center, saving numerous lives that would otherwise be lost without immediate treatment.
Earlier this month, 11 Physician Associate (PA) students successfully graduated after five years of study and earned their Bachelor of Science degrees. At the same time, 4 Engineering Technician (E-tech) students completed their three-year program and received their Diplomas in Engineering. In addition, 5 Natural Farming students joined the ceremony after completing their one-year program.
The new cohort of 2026 students has been selected and they are now undergoing boot camp. For the PA program, 13 students were chosen from 21 candidates, and for the E-tech program, six students were selected from 10 candidates.
Community Care
109 keen students from KG to Grade 5 have started Summer School classes. To ensure everyone has a seat, morning and afternoon sessions are held. The core lessons are English, Math and Myanmar.
Sewing classes have been able to recommence now that the solar power is there to provide electricity during the frequent power cuts. Currently 4 young women are taking the class.
