As outcome of the BEAM/JUMP! Youth Leadership Conference: “Raising Lanterns of Chiang Mai,” which was held on 5-6 November 2016 in Chiang Mai, three groups of youth including Myanmar youth, Thai youth, and Thai ethnic youth worked together to implement community impact projects. The three winning projects aimed to improve educational access for migrant and refugee youth, educate traffic rules among migrants, and prevent dangerous mosquito borne illnesses through training. All of the projects were completed successfully on 27th July, 30th July, and 5th August, 2017 respectively.The project members were true change-makers who actively worked together to make a difference in their communities. Congratulations on doing such a great job while completing all of the community impact projects.
Nang Lin Kham, originally from Shan State, Myanmar, is a graduate of the Faculty of Social Science at Chiang Mai University. Immediately after her graduation, she began to work at BEAM as an assistant Legal Assistance Program Officer. She expresses her passion for working with BEAM: “BEAM has given me a lot of chances; I want to hand those chances to the other young people. The other reason is that I personally belief in the power of education in human development, which is the start of other types of development. And BEAM is working to develop the capacity of humans, which will lead to the development of the society as a whole.”
