It is a struggle to pay the teachers’ salary each month. We also have seven PhD graduate students who stay at the school to improve their English and upgrade their IT skills who in return work as Teachers Aids. (We have two teachers plus aids to each group of no more than 14 children.) There is no accommodation for the graduates, so they sleep on the desk tops at night.
We need transportation… a small bus to collect children, visitors and to go into Sagaing (our nearest town) for errands… supplies, mail etc.
The next major priority is to purchase the land next door which has an empty nunnery on it, right next to our school. We would hope to make this into a library and lecture space, and upstairs an IT centre, all also available to the local community.
