Naw Thue R**t Paw has just entered Year 3 of her Physician Associate studies. It's the stage when students begin applying the clinical knowledge and theories they learned during their second year to real patient care and hands-on practice. It's also one of the most challenging periods of training, as students must learn to balance classroom studies with clinical responsibilities.

Your donations support students like Naw Thue R**t Paw and all of the patients she'll treat in the coming years. To all of you who give: Thank you.

Bounty from our Natural Farming program! Right now, we've got cabbage, sunflowers, and lots and LOTS of eggplant varieties ready to cook and eat.

"He waters the mountains from his upper chambers; the land is satisfied by the fruit of His work. He makes grass grow for the cattle, and plants for people to cultivate — bringing forth food from the earth." – Psalm 104:13-14

Another peek at our new neonatal tent! It may not look like much, but this tent enables us to create a safe, temperature- and light-controlled environment for newborns who need extra care and attention. Every new piece of equipment we gain here means lives improved and saved!

We push our students hard in boot camp because jungle medicine demands physical strength and resilience, just as it does intelligence and quick thinking. Many of our students go from carrying logs in boot camp to carrying patients across rivers and through the jungle.

We know, needles are no fun!

When this 8-month-old baby girl was brought to our clinic, she'd had low energy and watery diarrhea for two days. After she was admitted, her condition worsened, but after a week of treatment, she gradually improved. She has now recovered and returned home, healthy.

In the communities we serve, the most common health challenges include malaria, diarrhea, and pneumonia, and we treat these conditions frequently. Our training program is designed to address them thoroughly, ensuring that students are well-prepared in prevention, diagnosis, and treatment.

According to numerous studies in the National Library of Medicine, diarrhea is still one of the major causes of childhood death and morbidity, worldwide and (according to "Disgnosis: Critical") here in Myanmar. The fact that diarrhea is easily treatable/preventable makes the deaths even more tragic, but it also means that better medical infrastructure can make a huge impact.

April was a very busy month. We performed 18 emergency surgeries, nine of which were below-the-knee amputations and six of which were wound debridements from air strikes. And we saw nearly 700 outpatients; we have more sick people coming from farther away for treatment. They don't feel safe going to hospitals in regime-controlled cities.

Get ready — our very own Dr. Mitch will speak at Barnabas Aid's 2026 Encourage conference in London, June 20! As the event approaches, pray for believers facing hardships that God would be their refuge and strength, protecting them and reminding them they are never alone. Even in the darkest moments, may they feel His presence and find hope.

“God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.” Psalm 46:1
