MUDITA: THE JOY OF SHARING
The word “mudita” is an ancient Sanskrit term, which can be translated as “delighting in other people’s well-being and happiness”. For example the selfless joy that parents feel, as they watch their child grow and accomplish things in life. At Mudita association, we work to improve living conditions of underprivileged, burmese children, who had to flee from Myanmar, so that they too can have a chance to achieve education and a save space apart from home.
MUDITA SCHOOL IN MAE SOT THAILAND
Welcome to our school for Burmese refugee children in Mae Sot Thailand. Since January 2022, we have been supporting Burmese families who are fleeing from the civil war in Myanmar.
Thousands of Burmese refugees arrive in the town with nothing more than the clothes they have on. Besides shelter, food, and medicine they need a supportive community that provides safety and kindness. Many of the children haven’t been to school for the past years due to struggles with covid and an ongoing civil war in their home country.
Coming back to school is giving the children a healthy routine, joyful playtime, and laughter with their friends and teachers. This is the best medicine to heal the trauma of the past and gain a positive outlook for the future. Besides the classic education, we are also teaching the kids important life skills like gardening, on our self-made Ecofarm.
