Since 2009, Myanmar scholastics have been sent to Indonesia for their formation. The first group of Myanmarese scholastics arrived in the country in May 2009. The six – Cyril Nay Myo Htet, Lawrence Khu, Joseph Zaw Goan, Paul Tu Ja, Marcus Min Htun, Pius Than Naing Lin – are in the Philosophy stage of formation, in the third year of a four-year Bachelor’s degree in Philosophy course at the Driyarkara Higher School of Philosophy in Jakarta.
To prepare for the degree programme, they spent three months in Yogyakarta learning the Indonesian language, as part of their Juniorate formation.
This video was created to share some aspects of their lives as scholastics in Jakarta with the Jesuits in Myanmar when they returned for an apostolic visit in the middle of 2011.
There are now 12 Myanmar scholastics in various stages of formation in Indonesia.
