Ai Hom Tai, meaning Aroma of Shan, was established in 2005 by the Shan Baptist community in Yangon in order to provide housing for students coming from Shan state looking to continue their high school and postgraduate level studies. At Ai Hom Tai, students – whose opportunities for continued studies are not always available at their communities - are responsible for their own transportation, board, and school fees.
The group works with a little stash of old coins that are no longer in use since the currency was devalued. They combine the old coins with beads, wood or twisted cord to make fun and sophisticated necklaces, earrings and bracelets.
