Distinguished Guests Attend Private Screening of Charity Film at Mega Ace Cinema

Yangon, Myanmar – We are honored to share the success of a special private screening of our Movie for Charity, held at Mega Ace Cinema and hosted by the Mary K. Yap Foundation in collaboration with Mandalay Productions. This heartfelt event occurred before the nationwide commercial release of Myanmar’s first charity-dedicated film, which is set to premiere in theaters nationwide on December 13, 2024. The screening offered an intimate and meaningful gathering that united distinguished diplomatic and nonprofit community members.

Among the notable guests in attendance were representatives from the United Nations Office for Project Services (UNOPS) and several members of the diplomatic corps stationed in Myanmar. Their presence not only elevated the occasion but also reinforced the shared global commitment to championing the rights and futures of vulnerable children. The event was a powerful platform to highlight the film’s mission—raising awareness and funds for advancing orphaned children through education, wellness, and long-term empowerment.

Heartfelt exchanges, reflections, and a renewed unity around a shared cause marked the evening. Over light refreshments and a moving film presentation, guests had the opportunity to learn more about the foundation’s work and how the upcoming film serves as both a creative and charitable milestone for Myanmar. More than just a cinematic experience, the screening served as a call to action for those with the means and compassion to uplift those often left behind.

“As we prepare for the film’s public debut, this evening reminds us of the profound impact that art, community, and purpose can create when aligned,” said Peter K. Yap, Executive Director of the Mary K. Yap Foundation. “This film was made with love, driven by purpose, and fueled by the belief that every orphaned child deserves the opportunity to dream and thrive.” We extend our heartfelt thanks to all who attended and stood with us in this vital mission. Together, we are lighting the path forward—one story, one child, and one act of kindness at a time.
