We invite you to give us a hand and walk beside us in this work by saving the date, setting a reminder, and getting ready to be part of a global wave of generosity beginning on December 2 at 12:00 AM New York Time, when even $10 can become $15 and $500 can become $750 through matching funds. Together, we can continue to support communities of discerning and compassionate educators and activists in Southeast Asia and beyond!

Deepest gratitude from the SENS work team,

Regional Meeting of the Pathfinding Global Alliance on Ending Violence against Children – Asia-Pacific

On the 24th November, the Pathfinding Global Alliance organized an event in Manila, Philippines to accelerate efforts to end all forms of violence against children through a cross-sectoral and multistakeholder approach. Opor Srisuwan was invited to speak about a collaboration between Buddhist and Muslim faith leaders “INEBs child protection project has a pioneering interfaith MOU that was only achieved after 2 challenging years working together with compassion and learning to understand each other as humans”

Voices of Hope

The Voices of Hope initiative (14th- 20th November 2025) reaffirmed that when displaced children are offered safe environments, compassionate guidance, and genuine opportunities to participate, they not only engage meaningfully but also step into the roles of leaders, advocates, and bridge-builders across communities. 

Amid Myanmar’s protracted crisis and the complex cross-border realities of northern Thailand, the workshop demonstrated that child-centered programming can simultaneously support healing, strengthen social cohesion, and contribute to long-term peacebuilding.

Bhikkhuni Dhammakamala is a strong and deeply respected leader of the bhikkhuni sangha. For more than a decade, she has worked tirelessly to create opportunities for women to walk the path of the Buddhadharma, leading with independence, courage, and unwavering commitment.

"I was born in Mie Prefecture, as the daughter of a temple priest. As you may know, it is common in Japanese Buddhist traditions for male priests to marry and live at the temple with their families, and to pass the temple on to their children. The temple I grew up in was a small one—so small that it could not support our family through temple income alone. Still, when I was ten years old, I told my father, the head priest, “I want to become a monk.”
