  • As part of our partnership with #COLASFOUNDATION, we are proud to have welcomed 6 Colas Rail filipino collaborators for a weekend at our student center in Cebu City. This was a wonderful opportunity for them to share their skills and experience with 50 Filipino students from particularly disadvantaged backgrounds.   🚀 Day 1: Focus on Professional Integration 🌟 The students prepared for their entry into the job market through workshops on creating resumes, writing cover letters, and participating in mock interviews. Icebreaker activities also helped to strengthen the bond among the participants.   🏗️ Day 2: Enhancing Technical Skills 🛠️ Sunday was dedicated to specialized training, including construction regulations for infrastructure such as subways and trains, as well as project management for complex initiatives.   Thank you to Colas Rail for their commitment and to everyone who made this weekend possible. Together, we are paving the way for a brighter future for these young talents!

  • MYANMAR - EDUCATION IN CRISIS This article describes the dramatic state of the education system in Myanmar since the coup in 2021. Hundreds of thousands of children and young people have been forced out of the school system for economic or security reasons. Children of the Mekong has been continuing to sponsor 3,000+ children all across the country so that they can keep on with their education in this time of civil war and economic crisis. We currently have 13 children waiting to be sponsored in Letthamar, in the Irrawaddy region. Please consider sponsoring one of them!
