Raising money for Burma Educational Scholarship Trust, Scotland

Charity Registration No. SC035082

The charity supports Burmese refugee students by providing scholarship matched funding. This helps students access higher education outside Burma. The charity also supports a Burmese Teacher Training School operating outside Burma. It has provided grants to over 100 students since inception. These students would otherwise have had no access to higher education.

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

The Burmese junta spends less then 44p per person, per year on education. They have every reason to fear an educated and thus empowered population.

Speaking on this issue Daw Aung San Suu Kyi said "The future of my country lies in the hands of the younger generation. Under the present military government the whole educational system is neglected and higher education is virtually non-existent with the frequent closure and repressive control of the universities".

For a donation of 50p you will know that you have invested more in the education of a Burmese student than the authorities in their own country. £300 from BEST makes it possible to access funding from other sources that allow a Burmese student to study in an overseas university.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: BEST gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

Thanks again,
Ewen
