MYANMAR MOBILE EDUCATION PROJECT (myME) BENEFIT PARTY in NYC
About this Event
Please join us for an evening to celebrate and benefit myME: Myanmar Mobile Education Project.
APRIL 17, 2019
HGU Hotel Lounge in New York, NY.
Drinks; finger food; 2 short documentary films featuring myME; a talk with our director, Tim Aye-Hardy; and an auction.
About myME: Launched in January of 2014, the myME project is a unique, non-formal education and outreach program that provides school and assistance to children who have been compelled into servitude, by bringing the classroom to them--directly where they work (and live).
While we are not the first to use non-formal education, we are the first to bring it to child laborers. In Myanmar (Burma), according to 2014 census data, there are 5.09 million children between ages 5-18 who are out of school. Approximately 10,000 working and out-of-school children have benefited from myME, with an average of 87% attendance rate, since the project's inception.
