North Andaman Network Foundation
The NAN Foundation is supported by the generosity of individual donors and the guests of Andaman Discoveries. We are an all volunteer team so that the full amount of each donation goes directly to our projects with no administration fees.
The North Andaman Coast is under treat from systematic changes in the economic, political and natural environment. NAN seeks to enable communities to be prepared and knowledgable about how they can adapt to this wave of change and help to avoid another catastrophe. Helping these small communities not only impacts the local people, but helps to conserve the nature and culture of this special place for all of the world to benefit.
NAN projects support education, conservation and sustainable development.
Projects That Need Volunteers
Burmese Learning Center
Teaching English & Spending Time with Children
A volunteer teacher at the Burmese Learning Center can make a profound difference. Many of the Burmese children are expected to earn a living as child labourers in
rubber plantations or fisheries if they are unable to attend school. If they excel in school, the children will often have better opportunities that exceed those of earlier generations in their family. The school is off the beaten path, allowing a teacher to gain valuable insight into the Burmese culture.
The support from volunteer teachers, like you, is crucial to break the cycle of poverty through sharing the gift of education.
