Hla Soe Naing (a) John, Co-Founder & President

Hla Soe Naing never thought of himself as becoming a philanthropist until he went back to Myanmar a couple of years ago and saw kids selling food and goods at a Pagoda and on the streets struggling for survival instead of playing and studying. When he came back to the States he shared his experience back home with his friends by expressing how deeply it had touched him. All he wanted to do was to find a way to help those kids and decided to look into starting a nonprofit charity group.

Hla Soe Naing truly believes that Myanmar Charity Group can make a difference for underprivileged children in Myanmar by helping any way he can during his free time.  He urges all of you out there that you can help our group by contributing a moment of your spare time or donating funds small or large.

Su Zin Thet, Secretary

Su Zin Thet was born in raised in Kamayut, Yangon, Myanmar. She came to the United States when she was 16. She graduated from Emerson Honor’s High School in Orange, California in 2001, and attended Irvine Valley College, where she received Associate’s Degree in Biology. In early 2004, Su discovered her passion to take care of people and that she would simply be happy if she could take care of people for a living. Su chose nursing, which she fell in love with from the very first day of classes. Su graduated from California State University of Long Beach in 2006 with a Bachelor’s degree in Nursing. Currently, Su is working as a registered nurse at Long Beach Memorial Medical Center in Labor and Delivery unit. Su says “every day at work is a challenge for me and I just love my job!” To get involved in a humanitarian work has always been her passion. Su realized how fortunate we are in the developing countries and how unfortunate people are in third world countries when she was learning about public health. Su then decided to actively get involved in a project which would benefit children back home in Myanmar. “I was, again, “fortunate” enough to meet Hla Soe Naing and Tun who also have the kind hearts to give back to children back home,” and that was how Myanmar Charity Group was founded. Su is so proud to be a part of this charity group: “everyone in this group is very genuine and truly passionate about the projects to raise money.” Su believes that everywhere, anyone can make a difference in someone’s life, no matter how small it is.
