Sharing the refugee life to the Ateneo de Davao University students.

On 23 September 2020, Ivy Jane, who was the former-Jesuit volunteer in Thailand invited me to join her classes to share my experiences to her students who were the freshmen of the Ateneo de Davao University students. In their class, they discussed what love is and becoming men and women for others in the society. In addition, the students needed to share their ideas about love, their opinions, and their projects that they would like to do to help their society in their country during the Covid-19 pandemic.

First, it was the first time that I got the golden opportunity to share my work in Karen State with the refugee people in Myanmar. For the special course, I joined the classes for two days, and I was happy to talk about my work to them.

Second, it is the first collaboration between The Ateneo de Davao University and Xavier Learning Community. I invited the students that I met to join to become volunteers in Thailand like Ivy Jane who was the former-Jesuit volunteer in Thailand.

Third, it is our reflection that we should think for our society in the present. It needs the young new generation to help their society grow.

For me, I believe in the power of the young who have more energy and more abilities to lead the society to a better way.

Finally, I would like to say a million thanks for the opportunity that Ivy Jane and her students gave to me in which they intended to listen to my experiences and my work in Myanmar. I hope that my experiences can be the small energy for them to continue living.
