Our Story

The undivided care and attention for orphans have always been

one of the greatest lifetime aspirations for our dear mother, Daw Mary Khin Ong Shwe Yap, who immigrated from Rangoon to San Francisco

in 1979 with our late beloved father, U Kyi Soe and her two young children, Nora Thike Thike Soe and Peter Kyaw Min Soe.Read More

Title: The honorable poem for the Mary K. Yap Foundation

Original Poem in Myanmar language by: Takatho Phone Kywel (July 20, 2013)

Myanmar to English Translation by: staff writer @ the Mary K. Yap Foundation(Feb 14, 2017)

A pure heart, blanketed with smiles of art;

Hospitality to everyone, with the mind of the holy one;

Without leaving my country, as if in my native upcountry;

Meeting friends again, just like how happy days are reigned again;

These friends come with fondness, by tender heart of kindness;

It’s a solution for ‘cooperative charity, offering ‘funds’ with generosity;

Every July in a year, dancing and singing everywhere;

Performances of young girls, who love beauty, asuper success for charity;

Many basket of foods, donating generously with happy mood;

Charity camp during each year is full of happiness, that’s 12 years of thoughtfulness;

Consistently donate while facing challenges; Orphans from Myanmar who need to be managed;

The neglected children who faced various troubles, exactly the aim we try to avoid the struggles;

Thinking wisely to give forthe popular face, with social ‘cooperative charity’ for full of grace;
