Episode 3 - "I have a dream to build a school"
Peter (Tawk Lian Sang), from Myanmar 🇲🇲.
He is a Refugee Teacher in Malaysia, Chairman of the Chin Student Organisation, and Initiator of Rescue Action - an initiative to donate groceries for the vulnerable and needy Chin communities. He has been volunteering in teaching at Chin Student Organisation Malaysia for 7 years. He also is the Chairman of the Chin Student Organisation Malaysia. Chin Student Organisation formed in 2005, a charity to supports The Chin Refugee community living in Kuala Lumpur. They run schools to give children access to education.
He is a refugee teacher at a rented space located in Pudu, Selangor. He taught English, Math, and Science to 15 Chin students from Grade 1, 2, 3, and 4. Peter had faced a lot of challenges in providing a high-quality educational curriculum and materials to the students. At the same time, he is lacking manpower, financial issues, and a proper teaching setting.
"My dream and priority are to build a school for my students. The kids and teenagers from my community are missing so much in education. We can't fill the gap and we have missed a lot in their education. So, we have to start from the ground to make sure they have a strong foundation to go to their secondary education. English is one of the best subjects to teach my students because I think English is important for them."
Currently, Peter had 3 volunteers from UK and Malaysia.
He is eagerly looking for volunteers and financial support to move to a better setting or place to teach the students.
