This trip to the delta was my primary reason for the timing of my entry to Myanmar. Some years ago, my friend Sandy (that I stayed with in Seattle when biking from California to Alaska and back in 2014) co-founded Educational Empowerment focusing on transforming the lives of children in Myanmar. A year ago, they finished building a school in a remote part of the delta southwest of Yangon – in a small village Khin Tan with 250 people and around 50 young children.
