40th Anniversary of arrival in the USA
In 2011, Steeve hosted a gathering to celebrate the 40th anniversary of his arrival in the US. The gathering was coordinated by his daughter Elanor. She arranged a visit to Teehub (which provides incubation for aspiring innovators).
Attendees include :
Chris Lee, Dr. (EE59) & spouse
Sam Chin (ChE62) & spouse
Henry Khoo (EC67)
Hla Min (EC69) & spouse
Benny Tan (M70) & spouse
Zaw Min Nawaday (EP70) & spouse
Htin Aung (Richard, M70)

Benny, Zaw Min & Richard were Steeve’s classmates from RIT.
Henry picked up Steeve on his arrival in San Francisco, California, USA.
Saya Chris Lee, Sam Chin and Dr. Zaw Htun were active in the Burmese American organizations in Southern California.
QTC
His younger sister Dr. Lay Kay had patents related to the medical and legal processes to handle disability claims. She requested Steeve to co-found QTC and serve as CEO.
Two decades later, QTC was bought by a group of investors making the two siblings multi-millionaires.
They did not forget their roots. Steeve set up the Kay Family Foundation. His sister set up the B K Kee Foundation in memory of her mother. Their foundations have provided support for education, medical research, areas inflicted by disasters (e.g. Cyclone Nargis) and much more.
Aspirations & Actions
Steeve took time to trace his roots. He also joined expeditions to visit the holy sites of Four Religions.
He is a Trustee and/or Board Member of several US universities.
He is a Multiple Golden Sponsor for the SPZPs. He set up the “Steeve and Helen Kay Health Care Fund for RIT Sayas and Sayamas”. He hosted a delegation from the Ministry of Science and Technology to visit selected universities and research institutions in California.
There were some proposals that did not materialize. He offered to set up a Computing Laboratory and promote Leapfrogging Technology for engineering sayas and students in Myanmar. He offered to provide air fare and expenses for Sayagyis willing to share their experience in Myanmar. He requested some support from the Myanmar side (e.g. taking care of the security and maintenance of the Laboratory and providing accommodation for the visiting Sayagyis), but due to the bureaucracy of the then authorities, the proposals were not materialized.
When his health started to decline, he could not take long trips or wait too long for responses to his proposals. He requested the balance of his Health Care Fund to be transferred to Swel Daw Yeik Foundation.
He delegated his children to run KFF and his enterprise. He still has desires to help his beloved home land. “The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.”
