Dear friends, family, and community,
After over a year of laughter, learning, and love, we’re writing to share that Hlaing Thar Yar Kids will be pausing as the co-founders prepare to begin a new chapter in college. This decision wasn’t easy, we’ve poured our hearts into this project, and every single moment spent with our students has been unforgettable.
We started Hlaing Thar Yar Kids in hopes of giving children, whose education was interrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic, a space to grow, dream, and learn while having fun. Thanks to your support, we were able to do just that.
While this chapter is closing, our story isn’t over. We truly hope to return to this work in the future, and maybe even grow it into something bigger.
In the spirit of giving back, we’ve donated the remaining funds from your generous contributions to a relief group currently helping with the rebuilding efforts in Mandalay. We believe this is the best way to continue the cycle of care and compassion that has defined this journey.
Thank you for supporting us, and most importantly, for supporting the kids.
Sincerely,
🌻 Hlaing Thar Yar Kids
