In 2019, a team of Saving Lives Volunteers returned to Myanmar. In this mission, we visited the Ywar Thit Kyi Basic Education Post Primary School, situated at the Ywar Thit Village in Bogalay.

​

Prior to the 2015 tsunami, the students had their classes in the open fields without a classroom. After the tsunami, the government built a rudimentary structure for the school but the severe lack of facilities posed challenges to learning for the students.

​

The team then embarked on a fund raising campaign for the students which gained the strong support from samaritans Mr & Mrs Chen Yong Long.​

​

The students obtained stationery, umbrellas, books and other study kits. The children, unable to conceal their joy, chattered and cheered in excitement. It was a touching moment.

​

In addition, the team also raised funds to install electrical wiring, repair the ceiling, and install compartments to create separate classrooms so that the students can concentrate better during lessons.

​

We hope the students will now have a better start in discovering and acquiring knowledge.

2019年，拯救生命的义工团队再次来到了缅甸。而这一趟旅程的其中一个目的地是当地的一所小学——Ywar Thit Kyi Basic Education Post Primary School。

​

坐落在小渔村——伊瓦底村（Ywar Thit Village, Bogalay）的这所小学占地只有一个足球场那么大。而让人难以想象的是，在2015年海啸来袭之前，这所学校根本没有课室，学生都是在空旷的平地上席地而坐。尽管海啸发生后，学校建设了课室，但是面对物资缺乏的问题，学生的学习仍旧是一大问题。

​

因此，Saving lives”拯救生命“人道救援组织决定为当地学生筹集学习资源，而这项计划由新加坡善心人士陈永隆夫妇慷慨赞助。

​

活动当天，全校师生们一早就到学校耐心等待。当拿到文具（包括铅笔、雨伞、练习簿等学生所需用品）的那一刻，许多学生都难掩兴奋之情，欢呼声更是此起彼落。小小渔村顿时充满了生气！

​

​此外，为了打造更适合学生学习的环境，拯救生命组织也捐助维修课室的电线和天花板。此外，组织也为每间课室增设了间隔板，让学生可以更专注学习。所谓“问渠那得清如许，为有源头活水来”，希望有了学习资源和较为舒适的学习空间，那里的学生能够更加认真学习、探索知识！
