In August, I am travelling to Myanmar to volunteer with myME project.

"Launched in January of 2014, the myME project is a unique, non-formal education and outreach program that provides school and assistance to children who have been compelled into servitude, by bringing the classroom to them--directly where they work (and live)." www.mymeproject.org

As well as visiting the project and the children, I will be training staff on how to use a range of strategies to support the social and emotional development of the children, as well as supporting their emotional needs following the trauma of being separated from their families and caregivers in order to work to support their families. Some of these children are as young as 6.

As this charity relies heavily on donations, resources are limited, and they are doing a fantastic job at delivering education to vulnerable children with limited resources. In order to support these children's vital emotional and social development, we would like to raise enough money to be able to take out all the necessary resources that the children and teachers really need. These resources will include; whiteboards, whiteboard pens, pencils, exercise books, thrive resources, relevant training materials, and a range of other classroom resources.

Any amount you can donate will help us to provide this project and these children with the much needed resources that they need to be able to receive the education and support that they deserve. If you can help, however small the amount, please donate.
