On the 7th August 2018 ten students from Sanon, Khin Lay (the Youth Support Worker) and Dave Martin (Social Worker) initiated and conducted a community project to cleaned up the area in front of Thante Hotel and the Children's playground near the entrance to Nyaung U.
During the clean up one of the local food vendors joined the Sanon Students and helped with the cleanup. After we the area was cleaned and tidied the students were clapped by a group of local on-lookers and invited by a local teashop for a meal which was greatly appreciated. Such initiatives provide a valuable example of how community work and involvement can build positive links and mutual respect with your local community.
