Jane ShufflebothamAssociate Director of Philanthropy[email protected] Get in touch today "As a long-term supporter and now a Global Guardian of UWS, I've been privileged to learn about their incredible work from staff in the UK and around the world. I've attended events and was fortunate to be part of a donor trip in 2019. I saw first-hand the difference UWS are making to the lives of thousands of boys and girls in Cambodia. UWS is providing children with opportunities to transform their lives. I was blown away to see how closely they work with local communities to provide their first-ever access to primary education. Through this, the children have so many more opportunities, giving them a real sense of hope and helping these communities break free from poverty." Iain Brown, Global Guardian Meet Moh Moh Lwin Teacher, Myanmar “This is a very new village where people migrate from different places. Even though all of the children are Lahu [ethnicity], they have different cultural practices and beliefs. As a teacher, I had to understand each child and their family so that the school can provide a familiar environment for the children.” Moh Moh Lwin became a teacher because she knows how important good teachers are to a child. For Moh Moh Lwin, every one of her students is important. Her first priority when she began working at UWS was to get to know each child individually. When schools were closed in Myanmar due to the coronavirus pandemic, Moh Moh Lwin provided flexible education. This included holding socially-distanced group sessions outdoors and going house-to-house to deliver learning resources and check-in on students. Moh Moh Lwin took this in her stride saying: “I am very busy but very happy.” Read next Philanthropic gifts Sponsor a school Manage Cookie Preferences
