Synopsis
Su Mai is one of 105 'fellows' trained by Metta Foundation, Action Aid and Shalom Foundation who have volunteered to live in remote rural communities and promote self-reliance and equality. In this short documentary made for the British Embassy Rangoon, 23-year-old Su Mai looks back on the year she has spent in the village of Sekham in KachinState. After struggling to overcome the villagers' initial hostility, she helped them realise an impressive array of activities including several micro-credit schemes and the construction of two schools, a library and a road.
