Hosting organisation

This program aims to foster personal development , develop leadership skills, education, create impacts on society, and choose a brighter path to future careers.

Education is not a priority and not easy to access by all while poverty is struggling people for survival. CYA started our cooperation in 2014 and have been working on providing English languages class for students and supporting to renovate classrooms.It is very rare
to have foreigners in this village so the presence of volunteers make the students and local people happy to have interaction while students are able to learn language for free.
