During my university years, I found myself drawn to adoption and social work, though I didn\u2019t yet know where it would lead. As I became more aware of global injustices, I realized I wanted to reach as many children as I could.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\">About twenty-five years ago, a \u201crandom\u201d visit to a friend\u2019s orphanage on the Thai\u2013Myanmar border changed everything. I came face-to-face with children and families living in the shadows\u2014refugees and migrants, little ones with no home, no identity, no support. In a strange way, it felt like the universe had answered something I had been quietly asking for. My purpose became clear: to open my heart and listen.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\">Since then, Myanmar and the surrounding communities have become my home. What began as a small children\u2019s home and hospice for undocumented women living with HIV\/AIDS has grown into two training centres in the highlands of Shan State. The work has evolved, and so have we. My eldest daughter\u2014the first child I welcomed into my care\u2014now manages both centres alongside me, and her daughter has recently made me a proud grandfather.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\">These days, you\u2019ll usually find me at our Sprouting Seeds Training Centre working with teacher interns, or out in the village at Whispering Earth, supporting youth and educators in child development, natural building, and organic farming. Alongside this, I continue my own learning through PhD research in trauma healing, hoping to better serve communities navigating the ongoing challenges here in Myanmar.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Im Rahmen unserer Reihe, in der wir die Menschen hinter unserer Arbeit in Myanmar vorstellen, lassen wir heute Jim Connor zu Wort kommen.
