25th Feb 2017

The highlight of the program was an enlightening series of workshops that saw Zawgyi team up with representatives of a leading international palm sugar buying company, to motivate farmers to say no to child labour, and to inspire them to adopt safe work practices for palm sugar harvesting. The events were rounded off with award presentations to farmers, and donations of bookshelves and educational books to school libraries for the welfare of local communities.
