TESTIMONIALS
I passed the university entrance exam in the 2019-2020 academic year. Then the Covid-19 epidemic hit our country hard. Because of this I wasn’t able to attend the university. After that, the opportunity to go to school became even more difficult because of the political situation of the leaders in the country. I didn’t know what to do with my career life. I heard about Step-in Step-up (SISU), and became very interested in attending the training. I believed that this training would help my career life. That belief came true. SISU helped me find my way up in life. It gave me motivation. I’m thankful to SISU’s founder and teachers. When I joined SISU, I felt less than my other friends, because they were more talented than me. But SISU always supported me and encouraged me not to give up. I am forever grateful to SISU, the great course and the teachers.
After the training, through SISU, I started my first job as an associate in the HR department of YOMA Bank. The people at YOMA Bank believed in my ability, and always supported me, just like the teachers from SISU, they gave me motivation and challenged me. Now, I have started on the path of success in my life!
I am very grateful to all my supporters, SISU, Founder Mrs. Jackie, Tr. Monica, and all the other teachers. I would also like to thank all the people who deserve to be thanked for helping young people like me. And I would like to thank my team at Yoma Bank for believing in me.
GAP Kids
Having now completed Saturday morning school, this month saw many of our GAP Kids return. It is great to see the Academy come alive every Saturday morning and our older trainees from other programs supporting and teaching new skills to the Kids.
Humanitarian Relief
Our trainees are able to consolidate their learning through giving back to the community via our humanitarian relief projects. This month our Health Care Aide trainees completed health and BMI assessments to the children living on the dump site in Yangon.
They then worked with the local mothers and babies from the surrounding villages offering Health Care advice and support.
Remember, you can help SISU and its trainees to carry on delivering much needed care and support to the local communities by clicking the donate button.
