This was a successful month for Khomloy Montessori project
and we are proud to announce this important step on launching of our long
awaited program across Thailand border. While we made tremendous strides in the
Thai-Burma border in the recent years, it has always been our dream to expand
this amazing program to other countries within Southeast Asia.
We are delighted that Khomloy Montessori project has finally
made remarkable progress by converting a pioneer Montessori classroom in Mawlamyine
– Myanmar with an objective to improve and increase the access to quality
education for Myanmar children and community at large through the Montessori
method.
To this regard, we have added St. Joseph Nursery School to
our list of over 60+ converted classrooms and we view this additional as a
perfect fit for Montessori project as we expand to equip the children with what
they need to foster their independence and allow them reach their full
potential and lead fulfilling lives. And as a result, KLDF is positioned to
continue converting more preschool classrooms in Myanmar to build on the
implementation of the best quality education system and accommodate more
students in the future.
St Joseph nursery school is run by a group of independent
catholic sisters who have dedicated their time to provide the young children
with some learning and also care for underprivileged teenage girls. Moreover, since
conversion the school has enrolled over 50+ children and the numbers are
increasing by day. We have been providing regular in-house Montessori trainings
to the sisters and the progress is quite encouraging.
Besides, we look forward to identify ways to work closely
with the parents to help them understand the importance of the child’s first
years since we noticed most young children 2-4 years are generally kept at
home.
The
launch of this amazing project was made possible by Point B Design + Training organization based in Mawlamyine- Myanmar, who have been
providing technical support, facilitating communication and coordinating to ensure
the program is set up.
I
would also like to thank my fellow colleagues for their exceptional dedication,
which has enabled KLDF Montessori project to continue to expand.
