Dear Residents
April has been an eventful month, news of global pandemic, curfews and lockdown. However, through this crisis, we witnessed many heroes in the world! Our May newsletter starts with just that, partnering with World Health Organization and United Nations to acknowledge and honouring the heroes of the world.
Staying local, Going global: Supporting COVID-19 Solidarity Response Fund
Show our solidarity to the global community by supporting the works of WHO to help countries respond to the COVID-19 pandemic. “The fund, the first-of-its-kind, enables private individuals, corporations and institutions anywhere in the world to come together to directly contribute to global response efforts.”
Locally we are witnessing our very own Pun Hlaing Estate heroes

“We take taken the following precautionary measures to ensure the residents, tenants and staff safety; to ensure a sense of normality in the everyday lives. There are a lot of parts that has to be engaged to ensure normality; and these are made possible with the commitment of the unsung heroes of Yoma Land. We would like to thank them for their personal commitment to continuously provide a safe haven for the residents and the community at large,” echoed Jonathan Hegarty, General Manager of the Pun Hlaing Estate. More then 350 staff members are living at the estate, away from their homes and families, to take care of the residents living here. Read full article here.

Pun Hlaing Estate Community Portrait Project: A Portrait of Strength & Courage
Despite the crisis, our residents have grown closer and stronger. Staying at home requires strength and resilience. Our residents are providing mental and emotional support to one another. The Pun Hlaing Estate Community Portrait Project aims to capture this solidarity in a photo collage, featuring individual residents, reminding them of good memory for a long time to come. This project can only be completed with residents sending a beautiful portrait of themselves to us. This project will be the feature of June 2020 newsletter.

Danger Alert! Concussions, hematomas, loss of sight and broken bones
We would like to remind all residents the Golf Course is strictly for Golfers only and this is a potentially dangerous area for residents to exercise which is prohibited. Golfers cannot always see pedestrians when playing and errant shots can often occur which is what makes the Golf Course an unsafe area for non-Golfing exercise. Thousands of people are seriously injured each year by flying Golf balls. For your safety, if you are not playing Golf, please do not walk, jog, cycle or exercise in any other form within the boundaries of the Golf Course. Please continue to enjoy the safety of the Estate roads and pathways.
Thank you for reading our newsletter and please share your feedback with us or share with us what you would like us to see in the coming months. Stay socially connected while maintaining physical distance!
See you next month!
