I am the chef of the Bamboo Garden restaurant in the Mudita school. It’s not just a restaurant but also a meeting point for tourists as well as volunteers and children.
I enjoy being part of this now for two years while improving my knowledge and learning English from the volunteers.
I really enjoy the company of various people during the day. That makes my days really interesting and diverse.

Nwe Nwe Aung – teacher

Mingalaba!

My name is Nwe Nwe, I am 23 years old and I have been working at Mudita School since 2017, when the school officially opened.
I teach the students Geography, History and Science.
I am very happy to be working at this monastic school, as I feel I am part of a solution.
I know I am making a difference and helping Mudita build a better future for the students. The children are inspiring, kind and each have their own sense of humour.

We have a lot of fun, and I must say, I learn a lot from the students! Learning English has always been a passion of mine, and I was able to learn English online as well as developing my computer skills.
My hobbies are reading as many books as possible and cooking in the kitchen, especially with oranges, mango, bananas.
My overall goal and aspiration in life is to become a Doctor and, of course, support Mudita.

Nan Nan and Taggyi – The Village Leader and Mother Nature

The Village Leader and Mother Nature – inspirational leaders of Inle Lake

Meet Taggyi and Nan Nan, husband and wife who not only work in partnership at home but also for their community in the village and supporting Mudita School.
Nan Nan, is like mother nature. She has flourished our Eco Farm right from the beginning of Mudita School and continues to maintain and educate volunteers who come to work in our gardens.
The Eco Farm is our main source of food as we live a sustainable lifestyle, but it certainly takes community resilience and we would be lost without Nan Nan, that’s for sure!
Before Taggyi started working taking an interest at Mudiuta School, he was a farmer and also mayor of the village.

Taggyi supports our values and sees how we are making a difference and building a better future for our students.
Taggyi helps out in the Eco Farm with his Wife. He is also responsible for school maintenance, especially since launching new building projects, he organises the repair of broken water pipes and laying new concrete paths. A valued member of our community!

Thank you Nan Nan and Taggyi for your continual support and love for Mudita.
Your Mudita Family is extremely grateful for you both.
