A Joyful Learning Exchange with Myanmar

Exploring Myanmar through a lively virtual exchange was a true eye-opener for us. Before this opportunity, our knowledge about the country was quite limited, mainly revolving around the well-known issues of civil unrest, Aung San Suu Kyi, and the Rohingya crisis. However, thanks to Dr. Saw's gracious invitation, our video call turned into a meaningful cultural exchange, featuring self-introductions, a fun guessing game, presentations highlighting the beauty of our town, and a delightful talent exchange.
