We have the honour to work with leading Myanmar artist Aung Myint, whose works are collected by major institutions like Guggenheim and UBS collection, to put up the solo shows in Hong Kong to raise fund for the scholarship of Connecting Myanmar, an NGO in Hong Kong led by young professionals and students, which organizes various summer volunteer programs in Myanmar and the Thai-Myanmar border.  All profit from the sale go to the scholarship to fund students from Myanmar to study in Universities.
