Stories carried through time.
ဗမာ့ပဲ့တင်သံ
For Burmese people living overseas. Keep your language, your culture and your children's Burmese alive where you are - and send something real back to the people still at home.
What this is
A line home, running both ways.
Leaving does not end anything. It stretches it. The language goes quiet in your children first, then the food, then the small things nobody thought to write down.
Burma Echoes exists to hold that line open in both directions. Outward: lessons, stories and culture, so a family abroad stays close to home. Homeward: what the diaspora can afford turned into school supplies and English lessons for children still in Burma, where a month of teaching costs less than a night out here.
Three things it does
Learn. Stay close. Send it home.
Learn
Burmese for children raised abroad, and English for the families still arriving. Free where it can be free.
Stay close
Stories, food, cloth, script and festival - the ordinary things that fade fastest at a distance.
Send it home
School supplies and English lessons for children in Burma, paid for by the people who left.
Free, and it stays free
The Burmese alphabet pack
Tracing sheets, audio for every letter, and a short guide for parents teaching a child who is growing up somewhere else.
