You can contribute to the APEF in a number of ways:

1. Provide ongoing support for a teacher. Teachers at PDO work hard.  Their classes often have over 100 children.  A teachers’ salary is around $40.00 per month.  Your support can ensure their salaries are paid and children’s education is ensured.

2. Contribute to the PDO scholarship fund. PDO has a fund for the support of children from poor families who find it difficult to maintain their children at school.  A regular donation will assist these children to continue their education.

3. Support the PDO clinic. Each day the school’s free clinic treats over 100 people from the local community for a range of medical problems.  Donations will support the clinic by purchasing much needed medical supplies.

4. Offer your time to PDO.  If you have the time and interest you can self-fund a trip to Mandalay to teach at PDO.  Teaching qualifications are not necessary for this incredibly rewarding experience (note: in accordance with the APEF child protection policy all volunteers will be required to undergo a police check).

5. Support work with Street Children.
