The talented and motivated Burmese staff whose hard work, skills, and unique insight into our partner villages make Shanta’s work possible
Chan Nyein Aung - Regional Manager for Pauk Region
Khun Aung Sein - Program Manager Southern Shan State
Khun Sein Moe Hein - Township Coordinator, Pin Laung
Zaw Moe Naung - Taunggyi Township Coordinator & Livelihood Officer
Hired in early 2014, Zaw Moe Naung is indispensable as the go-to guy for managing Shanta’s coffee and pig farm programs. As a member from a partner village, Zaw Moe Naung offers invaluable insight into our village partnerships. He studied history in college, but his interests span from agriculture and animal husbandry to playing music. He has worked as a truck driver, a carpenter, and a field worker. His experience as a field worker is one of his main motivators—he wants other villagers to have access to a better life. “I like Shanta’s way of working because we don’t just give things to villagers. We always train leadership and develop management skills for village people and then monitor their progress.”
