Euphrasie Centre – for
Leadership and Skills Training for
Tribal and Ethnic Women
Pyay, Myanmar
July 2000
This new venture enables our Sisters to educate young women from remote villages for an independent and self-sufficient future in their own villages. They must have completed their Year 10 education first and they will receive various opportunities for skills and leadership training during their year at the Centre.
