Introduction

The education of the world’s children is high on the global agenda. In the context of education for all , all children should receive free, good quality education. The reality is that millions of the world’s children are too poor to benefit from the declaration, unless there are special interventions that target their development. Unfortunately, such children do not form a special social category in poverty eradication intervention programmes. Thus, their inclusion in the achievement of EFA appears to be a hit-or-miss phenomenon. Recognizing the central role of poverty eradication in wider global gendas and acknowledging the need to reach out to the poorest children with the objective to break the poverty cycle for them, Myanmar Urban Rural Christian Mission embarked on a programme of education and poverty eradication.

General Condition of Some Children in the Country

There are many fatherless or motherless (approximately) because of the death of father or mother for their disease & in local wars and divorce of their parents.

These orphans have care taker for their health, education, daily food and dresses. Especially they are far away from the saving knowledge of the LORD JESUS CHRIST.

These children without any guardian are begging for their daily food and some are in the habit of stealing.

There indeed are orphanage caring centers in the country but they could not picked up every orphan or needy child to be cared for. Therefore, there still are many orphans and needy children to be picked up and brought up for their well-being.

Those children will be perished in spiritually as well as in physically if not picked up and care for their needs.

The scourge of AIDS has orphaned many children. However not all them become infected with the disease. Those who have not contracted the disease from their parents are either cared for by relatives or are placed in orphanages. However those unfortunate children who have been infected with the HIV Virus are stigmatized and neither relatives nor orphanages are willing to take them in. They therefore face rejection and social isolation and are deprived of everything young children should have. Thus, there is an urgent need for a care center that will provide a home for these children.

A group of like-minded compassionate people, committed to the welfare of these children, has thus initiated the Mingalarba Children Humanitarian Project with the objective of providing the children with a familiar environment where they will receive the love, care and attention they so desperately need.

Meaning of Mingalarba

In the Burmese language mingalarba means “How do you do?” or “Hallo!”. When a European greets a Burmese with mingalarba. Tourists or Foreigners who visit to Myanmar tend to speak “Mingalarbar” as a formal greeting. You may hear that kind of greeting in TV programs, flights, hotel receptions, restaurants and any places related to foreigners. The fact is that “Mingalarbar” was invented as a Burmese greeting some decades ago since there was no such kind of formal greeting in Burmese.
