YANGON YMCA
MYANMAR

YMCA HOSTEL


In the heart of Yangon, formerly known as Rangoon, the YMCA offers its thriving centre to people of all faiths, to Christian worshippers, to the disadvantaged, to those who wish to learn, to groups and clubs wanting a place to meet, and simple accommodation to those needing a bed.

Through volunteer support it is the aim of Community TV Trust to give this wonderful organisation a voice.



Over time, with the training in website management that will be given both to staff and to volunteers, and with the provision of broadband that has been requested to the YMCA centre, Community TV Trust intends to help Mr. Sonny - the director of Yangon's YMCA - to bring us news and stories and images of life in modern Myanmar.

For distance learning opportunities, see NEWS
in this section. You could be linking your study to a university in UK or Eire.

Plus - there is an appeal for English language teachers.

Outside the city, just thirty minutes drive by car, YMCA manage an orphanage. 'Orphans' may come from families too poor to be able to provide their child with an upbringing.

"Message from U Vum Za Lian, B.A.(English), Chief Tutor,Yangon YMCA

We desperately need volunteer teachers from overseas.The teaching is all in the English Language and volunteers will be assisted by Myanmar
language assistant teachers, most of which have batchelor degrees from Myanmar universities.
Our priority is to offer Certificates,Diplomas and Batchelor Degrees from Overseas Universities in English and English Literature.

Currently we offer English courses by London University External see their website

and

Dublin Metropolitan University

Volunteer Teachers of other subjects will be welcome, especially Computer Science.

Some of our brightest students are unable to pay even the small fees charged by YMCA and sponsorship of individual students is always welcome.
