Volunteers conduct the classes which are held once a week on Saturday mornings. Emphasis is put on learning phonics to help the children learn to read better. The children are given a fun and enjoyable environment to learn English, with games, songs and ‘stars’ to earn little rewards. We get an average of about 20 - 30 students every week.
Assessment of children’s standard of English in order to measure their improvement over the year, and to guide them in their areas of weakness. We wish to attract the really weak students, who may be in danger of dropping out of school completely. However, this continues to be a challenge.
3. Yoga Classes for Taman Megah’s Handicapped and Disabled Children’s Home
Conducting two weekly Yoga Classes for the children of the home. One on every Wednesday for the children age 5 to 12 and another on every Thursday for the children age 13 to 16.
4. Dance Classes for Taman Megah’s Handicapped and Disabled Children’s Home
Sponsoring twice a week traditional and cultural dance classes to the children of the home that are conduct by Sutera Foundation.
5. Myanmar after Cyclone Relief Work
Myanmar was hit hard by Cyclone Nargis on May 3, 2008 - the worst natural disaster in East Asia since the 2004 tsunami. AMURT distribute food items to the effected families at the Delta Region.
AMURT is operating a Child Friendly Space program catering to children aged between 3 and 6 years old. It includes playgroup activity, informal education, trauma healing and supplementary feeding.
The CFS will be used for child programs in the morning. At noon, the place will be used for AMURT’s supplemental feeding program for pregnant and nursing women and infants. This serves as a platform for our psycho-social program which enables young mothers to meet and provide mutual support to each other.
1,600 school buildings were destroyed or severely damaged during the cyclone. UNICEF requested AMURT to assist in the effort to put up temporary structures so that the children can get back to school immediately. The Ministry of Education preferred more solid structures which would last 10 to 15 years. Our engineers worked out a design which is sturdy and cyclone-resistant made from local materials. We provide modern sanitation which can be easily maintained.
The basic infrastructure of vast stretches of the delta region, including towns and villages, has been totally ravaged. Approximately 400,000 families have been rendered homeless as their simple bamboo huts could not resist winds of more than 80mph. Most dwellers have lost their livelihoods and do not have the economic means to replace their devastated homes.
AMURT offer 2 different models, one standard size for families of up to four members , and a larger unit for families with five and more members. AMURT will also assist the community to rehabilitate local infrastructure such as road access, water supply and a functioning sewerage system, health services, etc.
