Eugene / Burma Link AOC, April 6, 2014

The second Agents of Change (AOC) Leadership Program is successfully completed.

I, myself an AOC of Burma Link, was very glad to get involved in the second AOC Leadership training this week by helping my coordinator who conducted the AOC program.

The training started on the 31st of March at Wide Horizons (WH), one of the migrant schools in Mae Sot, and six young energetic people who just graduated from WH attended the 5-day leadership course without any absences.

They found that AOC Leadership Program has helped them to become good persons to improve their community as well as to share information on what is going on in their community so that they can be the link for the unheard voices in their community to be heard on the other side of the world.

This program covered how to be an empowered person and how empowered people can help change their community. In the program, we also cover how to interview people to do life stories of people in the community and how to be ethical because ethics play an important role in any social work.

I am very happy to see that the program was successfully completed and the six newly trained AOCs are ready to be authentic and empowered people who are role models and leaders in their communities and stand for the rights of the people and help to break the silence.
