The villagers of “T” in Myanmar help to build their new primary school. All of our projects are in partnership with the villagers and each family sends one or more members to help with the labor. It is a joyous atmosphere and the result is one they are all proud of.
"At least a third of all children are malnourished in this country and 132,000 children under five die every year because of avoidable diseases," says Andrew Kirkwood of Save the Children. "Aid to this country is about $3 per person per year which puts it among the lowest three countries in the world. I just think that's inexcusable."
Hardest hit are the young. Less than 50 per cent of children will complete five years of education. They also suffer from a range of diseases including Aids and tuberculosis.
