A charity evening organised by Professor Chiara and her team raised funds for the Phan Foundation as a generous gift from Elena and Maurizio during their 60th birthday celebration on 06/06/2026. They raised €1,315 (£1,093.01), which we received through Micromondo Odv, our valued partner in Italy, who has supported our work for many years. We are deeply grateful for their love and support.

Please Support Karen Education Campaign.

Karen Education Campaign supports Karen community teachers in Kawthoolei conflict zones.

Many Karen teachers risk their safety and livelihoods to keep education going for future generations. Yet teacher stipends for basic living costs remain extremely low.

Karen Education & Culture Department (KECD) aims to provide 12,000 Thai Baht (about $350 USD) per teacher annually, but could provide only 7,500 Thai Baht (about $220 USD) for 2025–2026 due to a funding crisis.

To address this and raise awareness, KECD and Karen Teacher Working Group (KTWG) have launched a six-week online education campaign.

The campaign seeks to raise USD $100,000 for urgently needed teacher stipends. It also aims to build empathy and encourage donations from local and overseas Karen communities and international donors.

These funds will ease hardship for teachers and help sustain basic education in Kawthoolei.

Please support Karen Education Campaign by sending your donations here: https://phanfoundation.org/urgent-education-appeal/

All funds raised will go to KECD.

Every donation makes a difference. Thank you

It was a pleasure to speak with Professor Chiara, her colleague, and students from Italy about the situation in our homeland and the work of the Phan Foundation. I truly appreciate your enthusiasm and the long journey you made to meet and speak with me.

I would also like to give special thanks to Cinzia from Micromondo Odv for joining us, and to my dear friend Anita and her family for preparing a wonderful homemade meal for everyone. It was a wonderful afternoon.

Today (20/06/2026), we held a successful first meeting with the Karen-Canadian Education Alliance to discuss our joint scholarship programme with the Karen Education and Culture Department (KECD).

During the 2026–2027 academic year, the Phan Foundation is sponsoring 100 students attending KECD junior colleges and high schools. We are pleased that KCEA is joining us in support of this programme.

It’s lovely to be able to see our sister Cinzia, president of Micromondo Odv and shared with her the current situation in our homeland during my visit to Northern Italy in early May 2026. Micromondo is one of our donors and has been supporting our work for many years now. We are grateful for their continued support. Thank you Cinzia and everyone at Micromondo. Hope to see the rest of you another time. 🤗♥️
