“Now, I understand theres a Burmese saying… Ngote mi thè daing, tet naing hpyar yauk. So for those Americans who dont speak Burmese as well as I do, that means, ‘Dive until you reach the sand, climb until you reach the top. Keep persevering.’ And America is committed to helping the young people of this nation and this region climb until you reach the top.” - President Barack Obama Ambassador Mitchell thanks English Access Micro-scholarship program directors for partnering with the Embassy to promote English language skills among the country’s youth over the next two years. The English Access Microscholarship Program (Access) provides a foundation of English language skills to talented 13-20 year-olds through after-school classes and intensive sessions. Access gives participants English skills that may lead to better jobs and educational prospects. Since 2008 almost 600 youth from Myanmar have participated in the program. - See more at: exchanges.state.gov/non-us/program/english-access-microscholarship-program#sthash.WWdeseDD.dpuf
