Usually the academic year in Myanmar starts on 1st of June. However, due to COVID-19, this is also different to usual this year. At least for 9th and 10th standard school has started by end of July, even though in a limited manner. Nobody can tell at the moment when the other levels will follow. Just recently the lockdown for schools –besides the two final classes – and for universities was extended one more time .
Nevertheless Förderverein Myanmar has distributed as every year some school equipment like stationary and pencils to all godchildren. Furthermore each godchild has received this year also a school uniform. With this additional support we want to demonstrate to our godchildren and their parents that they can count on our help during these difficult times.
