Myanmar-United States Friendship Exchange
MUSFEX is an association of Myanmar alumni who have studied or participated in one of the US-based educational or professional institutions either in short period or over years, and are willing to work for the betterment of Myanmar people. Their mission is to foster mutual understanding and to enhance friendship between people of Myanmar and people of the United States as well as to bring democracy and peace in the country and around the world.
Begun in
September 2005, MUSFEX has matched 40 alumni to students and mid-level
professionals based on subject expertise and interest. The mentees do not
necessarily have U.S.-based experience.
First, MUSFEX recruited volunteers who offered to serve as mentors and gave them
information regarding their responsibilities and what to expect in their roles
as mentors. MUSFEX then opened the mentoring program to all interested parties,
announcing it at various MUSFEX events. Most of the exchange between the mentors
and mentees is via telephone and email on a regular basis, and twice annually
they meet for a lunch sponsored by MUSFEX. MUSFEX evaluates the progress of the
mentoring program at bi-annual all-member alumni meetings.
Many students who plan to study abroad are taking part in the program and have
commented that it is very valuable in preparing them for academia in the U.S.
Any Burmese professional who is interested to be coached for individual professional development could enroll as mentee.
