Subject: Programming & Training Specialist

Dear Sir,
I am interested in applying for a Programming and Training Specialist in Peace Crops Myanmar. I
am really interested in helping our local country's education. As I worked in international School as
a teacher for about 72 years,l learnt different tqaching methods to international students as well as
local students. The project is especially for our country's education where we need to contribute
our knowledge. I want to be parts of your team and help.to develop our country.

Being a teacher from International school, I work with different nationalities at our school
where they use English medium curriculum. I can speak and write English and I am
challenged to be creative and nurturing and most of all, patient. At the present time, I am
teaching English as a freelance teacher at my own language center

It is my goal to combine my range of exptirience with my ability to be a compassionate,

enthusiastic, intelligent teacher who will make a positive contribution to Peace Crops
Myanmar. I would welcome an interview and hope to hear from you at your earliest
convenience. I can assure you that with my experience, and under your able guidance, I will
be able to perform satisfactorily and meet the organizational goals.
