Collaborative & Innovative
COFFEE HOUSE
Raising funds through music
Coffee House is an event that occurs twice a year: once around late October to early November and another around late March to early April. What it basically is is a great place to have fun. No need to have a perfect voice just come audition and have fun! Coffee House usually costs 3000 kyats to enter, and all the money goes to Building Blocks’ projects, like repairing schools around the city as well as donating to kids who are in need of education! Come to the next Coffee House to see what all the hype is about! So please show up to coffee house to support your fellow Building Blocks!
COMMUNITY CARE MYANMAR
Spending time with kids
Community Care Myanmar is an organization that has been in action since 2013. Community Care Myanmar takes a whole-child approach to not only their basic needs but also their future through a supporting educational and health program. Last year, Building Blocks started to work together with this organization to further accomplish the needs of this organization. Every Friday, a group of about 10 Building Blocks members, go to South Okkalapa to where they teach the kids, play with them and utilize the supply donations to the organization previously made by Building Blocks. This is also the most popular group with about 50 members. If you want to have a fun and relaxing evening while doing community service work, feel free to contact the Building Blocks members to join the group!

BAKE SALES
Deliciously fundraising
The Building Blocks committee has been holding bake sales since the committee was established. Bake Sale is a fundraising event with an objective of collective revenue to fund an event. In the past, building blocks committee has generated funds by selling items such as brownies, ice cream, donuts, popsicles, cookies, chips, etc. These funds were allotted to the development of the Sanitation system of local schools and the reconstruction of their pathways and walls. This year, the committee once again looks forward to fruitful bake sales that would aid the projects thought for the local schools and other events.
PAINTING PROJECT
Making a Difference
For a school in need, even something as simple as a new coat of paint can energize a dreary classroom, inspire teachers, and motivate students. This is our main goal with Building Blocks’ Painting Projects. We seek for schools that have been damaged due to severe weather and restore them. In the past Painting Project, we painted the local school near YIS and restored it’s original beauty. However, it has already been a year and it needs help to repaint from us, like many other schools out there. If you are interested in revitalize schools, the Painting Projects are the perfect match for you.
GET INVOLVED
You Can Make a Difference
MAKE A DONATION
Make A True Change
Despite being a large community service group, Building Blocks still requires a lot of time and materials to invest in the community. This is where anyone else can come in and help Building Blocks give out a helping hand, without having to join the group. If anyone is interested in donating money, materials or wanting to make a donation, Building Blocks is open to all. Please contact the leaders of the Building Blocks, Khine Su Mon or Swam Min Htike, in order to get more details about how you can make a donation. All proceeds and donations will be for the orphanages and areas in need. However small, your help can make a big difference in people's lives.
