2019 Mission Trip Completed! 510 Happy Kids!

By Retta Jitner | Founder & CEO

The PFK 2019 Myanmar Mission Trip is completed and was a great success!

Our team of 6 volunteers from the U.S. made the annual trip to Yangon to deliver our gifts of backpacks filed with school supplies and a school uniform to 510 children in the Yangon province. Working with our Myanmar Chapter Board and many local friends and volunteers, we brought these gifts to 3 orphan homes, 2 monastic nunneries and 1 local community school over a two-day period.

All of our children either are orphans or come from families who earn approximarely USD $1 per day. The cost of one school uniform is roughly 1/3 of the monthly income for most of our families. So our gifts are well-needed and very much appreciated!

Big thanks to our sponsors; Belmond Governor's Residence, Cathay Pacific Airways and Diethelm Travel...we couldn't accomplish this mission trip without your support!

See our photos below of some of the very happy children who received all that they need to attend school and thrive!

We are now working on our 2nd Annual Charity Golf Classic in Yangon, to be held on Friday, November 1st! Come join us and play!

Go PFK!!!
