Prospect Burma – An Educational Journey

Hannah Marcazzo has been Executive Director of Prospect Burma since 2014 during a time of transition in education and the country. Phyu Pannu Khin is a Prospect Burma scholar, currently studying for a PhD in Clinical Psychology at the University of Vermont, with a special focus on health services in resource-limited communities. And Martin Smith is a Prospect Burma trustee who has travelled and written widely on the country for over three decades.

In their presentation, they will highlight the evolution of Prospect Burma from its 1989 foundation as an emergency organisation seeking to help students continue their education to a charity supporting opportunity and access for all. Change in the community and higher education scholarships are key project areas, and the presentation will illustrate how educational challenges and programmes have developed as new generations have grown.

As in all countries, 2020 has been a difficult year for local communities, and the presentation will share how Prospect Burma has adapted to the restrictions of the Covid-19 pandemic.
