Wa Quick Facts:
-The Majority of Wa live in Myanmar
- Famous for their past involvment in  headhunting and opium trade
-In the early 20th century Christianity  spread among the Wa living on the  Myanmar-Yunnan border area

Six years ago a private Christian elementary school was allowed to be set up to help meet the needs of the mass relocation of the Wa people. Almost the entire first group of students was overage (12 to 15 years old) to be beginning elementary school. Some of these had to drop out of school in order to work for their families to survive. Now this group of young adults has great potential for positive influence.

The Wa autonomous state is a state in Myanmar. The peoples that live in this state include the Wa, the Dai, the Lahu and the Han.
