Yangon Update<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

‘Tha Ngae Chin Myar’ (TNCM) program is the Friends Alliance (FA) program based in Yangon, Myanmar. Growing out of the Linkage Training Restaurant<\/a> social enterprise, it’s the youngest of our programs. Over the last couple of years, it’s also faced many difficulties. Covid has had a severe negative impact upon people’s health and livelihood. Additional insecurity and dangers posed by the military takeover added to the challenges faced in implementing our saving lives and building futures projects. However, the #everydayheroes of Friends Myanmar have been undaunted, and despite these problems have continued to provide support to those who need it most!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Summer Program<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

From March – May 2022, TNCM held a program of activities for local children who were out of school. This included non-formal education classes, with games and other activities. Adding to the existing challenges in ensuring children got to and from the center safely, were very frequent and extensive power cuts the city was suffering. Street working children also joined in the activities, and all were glad of the daily meals provided by TNCM #everydayheroes! Meanwhile, their caretakers continued to visit the center. They received emergency support, counseling, and ChildSafe information. Where and when possible, TNCM social workers ventured out to conduct outreach sessions in communities also.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
