Myanmar Foundation for Analytic Education, Inc.

About This Project

2021 has been a deeply challenging year for the people of Myanmar. The values cultivated at the Pre-Collegiate Program - curiosity, critical thought, empathy, and service - have never been more necessary among the students and alumni, friends and partners of the Pre-Collegiate Program to effect positive change in the country and across the globe.

If you are an alumnus of the Pre-Collegiate Program, or if you are one of their friends, partners, colleagues, teachers, or mentors, please donate now to support the work of this critical institution. For two decades, the school has proven its value in creating citizens who can create a better world for those around them. Let's give the next generation that chance.

This fundraiser will close on November 18, 2021.

If you wanted to know more about PCP...

The Pre-Collegiate Program was founded in 2003 to provide a unique learning opportunity to Myanmar students who knew that they wanted something more from their education. The school serves as a bridge across diverse groups in Myanmar and across the globe and encourages students to be independent, incisive, and creative thinkers. Its graduates are uniquely situated to engage with the challenges and opportunities facing Myanmar in the coming years, a generation of citizens intent on supporting the well-being of others.

Since its inception, the Pre-Collegiate Program of Yangon has admitted students based on the size of their potential and not their bank account. Myanmar students of all classes and creeds join us after they graduate from high school, learning to examine their attitudes and understand their communities. We also help our students gain admission and scholarships to liberal arts colleges in the USA and around the world so that they can learn to apply their own observations, evaluations, and empathy to create positive change in Myanmar.

About This Project

2020 has been an extremely challenging year for each and every person across the globe.  We have all had to learn to find new ways to communicate, to sustain ourselves, and to create meaning in our lives.  The values cultivated at the Pre-Collegiate Program - curiosity, critical thought, empathy, and service - have never been more necessary among the students and alumni, friends and partners of the Pre-Collegiate Program to effect positive change in the world around them.

If you are an alumnus of the Pre-Collegiate Program, or a friend, a partner, a colleague, a teacher, or mentor of these remarkable people, as Dr. Kyaw Win Tun calls them, "thi-myin/myin-thi leaders and citizens who are reflective and critical in their social acts," please take the opportunity in these weeks leading up to festival of lights, to donate to this critical institution.  We hope you will find this a fitting part of your celebration of love, charity, teaching, and transitions this season.


This year, the proceeds of the annual Tazaungdaing alumni fundraiser are all the more important, as they will provide greater security for our new director, Dr. Kyaw Win Tun, to realize his vision for PCP in the coming years.   A highlight from his recent conversations:

"I want to conceptualize my educational philosophy using two Myanmar words: thi and myin. Thi means know and myin means see. If what one thi represents knowledge, what one myin represents experience. These two Myanmar words can be combined to form another single word –  thi-myin, and its meaning connects knowledge and experience as a process. Thi-myin can be reversed to form one more word – myin-thi, and its meaning leads to interactive process of one’s knowledge and experience. My vision for the school is to nurture future, thi-myin/myin-thi leaders and citizens who are reflective and critical in their social acts."

Wherever they go, the world will need more of these students.  Your donation in this season will help to provide security for continued operations of this unique program that ensures need-blind access to this program which is a valuable catalyst for growth in the country.

This fundraiser will end on the evening of December 31, 2020.
