I am Dr. Grace Swe Zin Htike, a Burmese-born national and Orphanage Ambassador committed to using the power of storytelling and service to uplift vulnerable communities—especially orphaned children. With over 200 film appearances and contributions in acting, directing, producing, and consulting, I’ve dedicated my life to Myanmar’s growing entertainment industry while using my platform to spotlight social justice and public health issues. As the founder of CSG, I support international film projects based in Myanmar and continue to facilitate cultural events, organize educational workshops, and serve as a vocal advocate for local development. 

My experience spans from working on the ground as a field officer at People Services International (PSI) to holding positions on several nonprofit boards, including the Myanmar Squash National Team, the Myanmar Motion Picture Organization, and as a professor at the National University of Arts and Culture. These diverse roles have allowed me to build bridges between creative advocacy and community empowerment—strengthening my resolve to help advance the lives of orphaned children through education, cultural engagement, and opportunity, in alignment with the mission of the Mary K. Yap Foundation.
