Minmahaw Education Foundation (MEF) is a non-profit, education organization. It was opened in January 2007 on the Thai-Burma border, to educate Burmese youth with disadvantaged backgrounds. With current trends in the Burmese educational standard, and little access to education for the country’s ethnic minorities, border migrant community and youth from political backgrounds, further education is limited and in some cases simply unattainable.
Volunteer
MEF has been fortunate enough to have volunteer teachers from different parts of the world. However, the time volunteers have been able to give, has been on a short term basis. We appreciate any time volunteers can give however, there is a need for teachers who are able to work at the school long term.
We prefer volunteers who can commit to six months or longer, as it is more beneficial for the students if they have regular teachers and there isn’t too much disruption to their classes. However, if you can only commit to a short time, still please feel free to contact us if you are interested so we can discuss our situation and come to an arrangement.
