Hla Day Myanmar

In an effort to increase the literacy levels of children in Myanmar, the Benevolent Youth Association and the Myanmar Storytellers came together in 2004 to form the Third Story Project. 
 
Working together with local artists and writers, Third Story Project produces beautifully illustrated books in Burmese, with translations to English and various Myanmar ethnic languages. The stories told in the books vary, but they all have an undercurrent running through promoting peace, tolerance and diversity. 
 
Hla Day has sold Third Story Books since it first opened its door on Pansoedan Street in 2016 and has developed a range of finger puppets to go with each story.
