Community Partners International Awards Grant to PCP
Community Partners International (CPI), which “empowers communities in Asia to meet their essential health, humanitarian and development needs” recently awarded PCP. The two organizations met online to sign a grant agreement to inaugurate the "Leadership for Change Nurtured through the Liberal Arts" project.
Under this agreement, CPI is supporting the Pre-Collegiate Program to provide up to 20 Myanmar students from different backgrounds and regions with a 16-month foundational course in Liberal Arts. The course will help students to prepare for further academic studies and develop the critical thinking and analytical skills necessary to become empowered changemakers.
Alongside core classes, the Pre-Collegiate Program offers enrolled students opportunities to participate in community service, internships, and field trips to further deepen the connection between academic learning and practical approaches to the challenges faced by communities across Myanmar.
The agreement was signed by Dr. Nu Nu Aye, Head of Programs, on behalf of CPI, and by U Kyaw Win Tun, Program Director, on behalf of the Pre-Collegiate Program.
