On the 8th June, all 46 participating staff convened for a formal meeting at the local Mission.

This is the first nationwide meeting conducted by ADRA Myanmar and will be established as an annual event in the future. It’s a great way for support and field staff to come together and discuss pertinent issues/opportunities that face our organisation as a whole as well as build relationships between projects and our head office staff.
