Thant Htet Aung is a final year student who studies Computer Science in Maddaya. His University was occupied by the military last year and all the 2000 students moved to study at Mandalay Technology University. For accommodation they had to take care by theirself, but the whole area was already overcrowded with the current students. Luckily he could stay at his friend's house. He did internship in Yangon during his holidays in November, December 2024 and now he came to Yangon to get the certificate of internship completion as one important part of his graduation preparation.
Originally he came from Moe Meik 116 miles north of Pyin Oo Lwin, where there have been continuous intense fightings since three years. Until today, it is not safe in his village but his family went back to his village, after spending six month at a monastery in Mandalay. Thant Htet Aung is worried about his mother's health issues as he could not go back home for three years. He is concerned if there would be any more fightings before he finishes studies. He is also worried about his home village areas where there were destructions due to the fightings. After meeting with Mr. Gessner, he has decided to learn and practise English to be able to talk with him more fluently next time. After graduation, he will be working at the software company in Yangon where he did internship last year. This good story in difficult times is written by Khin
