Asia Peace and Education Foundation

DKTD is a proud supporter of the Asia Peace and Education Foundation. The foundation is dedicated to supporting the rehabilitation of schools destroyed by cyclone Nargis last year in Myanmar. Working through a Buddhist monastery inside Myanmar, the Foundation can ensure that 95% of funds raised go directly to schools.

During April this year Jane Perry travelled to Myanmar to work with the Foundation facilitating training sessions for teachers in Mandalay.  Whilst conditions inside Myanmar are obviously difficult, Jane was heartened by the enthusiasm of the teachers and the good will of those involved in re-building the schools. Already children are attending schools after months without schools or even basic shelters. The monks are also able to provide shelter for some of the hundreds of thousands of at risk children in Myanmar.  

Jane will be making a further visit to Myanmar in February 2010.
