What is the length of stay required for teaching with the Myanmar mission? You will be working at building a relationship with your students so we require a minimum commitment of 2-weeks.
How much does it cost? The base cost is around $2000 per person (which includes travel, lodging, food, and incidentals). This amount can change based on airfare and medical plan and whether or not you have a valid passport.
Where will we be staying and teaching? The accommodations and teaching will be at the modest yet clean Hotel Ruby in Yangon. Teaching will take place in the dining room (pictured to the right). Visit the Hotel Ruby website to see the hotel.
Is it safe in Myanmar? Recent news reports of troubles in Myanmar are from a region on the outskirts of the country. Our WEI teaching program takes place in the capital city of Yangon, a major city with good transportation, and a diverse population. The Myanmar people are very friendly, kind, and welcoming to visitors from the West. All of our past teachers have reported a very good experience with safety in Myanmar.
How can I donate to the Myanmar Mission trip? You can donate to the mission by sending a check through the mail to the Keizer Church of Christ 5405 Ridge NE Keizer, Oregon 97303. Make checks payable to the “Keizer Church of Christ” and be sure to indicate in the memo line that the funds are for the Mynamar mission. If the funds are for a specific team member, you need to indicate that in a separate note or on the memo line of the check.
Can I donate electronically? At this time we cannot receive electronic payment. But, you can use your bank’s bill pay option to have a check sent to the Keizer Church of Christ. Follow the same instructions indicated above.
What is Myanmar like today? Here is a short video from the Mynamar tourism department that gives you a picture of Myanmar today. Notice in it how important Buddhism is to Myanmar’s identity.
