Congratulations! Hagen school will have its 12th year anniversary this year. We do remember the day of the opening ceremony with the guests of MS. Europa. We all were so happy to be there. The school building is in good shape and village people do take care. Your school is a branch high school now with over 200 kids. Your school is in a safe area of Bagan. But our land is now not in a good condition. Wars are all around the country. Every group is searching for new members to fight. All the young people between 18 to 35 years old are very worried. Now all the passport offices are full and a lot of young people are going abroad. I am now about 40 years old and I also need to worry. But it is difficult and I need to think about our projects and my family. Here in Bagan, there are some local visitors on weekends. They spend their money because they do not know what will happen next in Myanmar. Everyone is hoping for a better time.... Min Min
