Important Notices: Family Fun Fair

Join us tomorrow for an evening of fun, connection, and purpose. This special event highlights ISY’s commitment to service learning, with proceeds supporting the Chinthe Fund and Student Council projects. Here are a few things you need to know to get ready for the Family Fun Fair:

  • Parking: A nearby embassy event at 3:00 PM may make parking more challenging. Please plan accordingly for a smooth arrival.
  • Reusable Water Bottles: Please bring reusable water bottles. Water filling stations will be available throughout the event to keep everyone hydrated.
  • Visit ISY Gala Booth: We will have a Gala booth right in front of the B Building. If you are interested in sponsorship opportunities, drop by our booth for more information.

Book Sale: Please bring an empty bag to fill with gently used books—just 5,000 MMK per bag!
