I realized there is a big Burmese community in Indianapolis and want to contribute to making a difference. So, I decided to help BACI serve the community. I am excited to work with high school students, to help with their college careers and to becoming great leaders. - Melonie Lynn
I was involved with BACI in the 2014 for the Upward College Summer Research Scholars Program during high school. I studied Human Resources to give back to my community as much as I can. I am excited to start my internship as Case Management in EMDP. -Hram Sang
Being a part of the civic program has allowed me to develop the experience and knowledge I need to play a small, yet important, role in making impacts on the community that I value. I get to meet new friends and people who are also passionate about helping out the community.

Last summer, I had the privilege of going to Chin State, Myanmar to teach English at Hakha College. This experience made me realize why I love teaching and it led me to become a part of BACI's Upward College Program. - Bekah Raab
When I learned about BACI, I was excited to have the chance to work with the largest Burmese community in the USA. I decided I wanted to volunteer because I wanted to have the first-hand experience with the Burmese community.

I love being a part of the BACI because I feel that I am able to give back to the community and learn more about the unique country where I came from. I also enjoy working with the wonderful students who have many different personalities.
