Honoring the Outstanding Students who pass the Matriculation Examination with Distinctions.
Annually, we, YKBWA honors the outstanding students who pass the matriculation examination with distinctions at our second mass meeting in October. We give honorarium to those who receive from one distinction to all distinctions (all D). Our purpose is to let the parents know and recognize their children’s industriousness and to value and be proud of them. At the same time, we want to encourage the ones who get this honor to continue trying their best.

Bu Mission Field
- Roselle
- Snow pear
- Mango
In addition to farming, the families in Bu Mission Field regularly take part in fellowship, ministry activities, and community activities. Although there are only a few households, the community is united and supports one another.
In the places mentioned above, people earn their living through farming, livestock raising, and handicrafts. These livelihood activities play an important role in improving their living conditions. Women play a key role in these activities. Family-based businesses and strong community cooperation are also important strengths.
We, the Yangon Kayin Baptist Women Association, (YKBWA), do mission work by supporting some volunteers not only in church but also in churches group level.
