Yesterday and today (27 and 28 April) we donated 4,000 litres of drinking water bottles to the villages situated near the Gulf of Martaban (Muttama Gulf) on the Yangon side. Because of hot weather, all the wells and lakes have dried up and the only way to get clean drinking water is to travel for about an hour to the nearest villages with big lakes. As a result of the water shortage, there have been many health problems in the region.
Yesterday, a group of volunteers went to the villages of Aubar Nyunt, Tartan and Zwatika. The group consisted of Snow, Dr. Su Su Aung, Myitta Yaung Chi (from the Free Education group in Thone Kwa), Ko Bala and many other volunteers from the region and from Yangon. Today Dr. Thu Kywe Khant Soe and various other volunteers will go to other villages and will donate approximately 3,600- 4,000 litres of water and mobile clinics for medical care.
To the extent that our funding permits us, we will keep doing our donation trips.
In May 2010, we carried out a program call Water for Life, aimed at distributing water to the villages in the Thone Kwa region, near Guld of Muttama. Again this year, their lakes have dried up and there is no source to get safe and clean drinking water. In some of the villages there have been outbreaks of diarrhoea and other diseases associated with water shortage.
This is an urgent problem and we need to respond quickly. Today, one of our volunteers, Ko Bala, went there and carried out a survey. Later today, Snow and Ko Naing Naing Tun will go to Thone Kwa and will donate 4,000 litres of drinking water. Our volunteer doctors will come with us to give medical treatment in the villages.
I urgently need your kind contributions. Please help us and I will share my reports with you all again soon.
Today is a great day for many students at Man Pyay Monastic Education school, which is situated at Twante township. Myanmar Compassionate Hands together with Escolaridad Solidaria from Spain are going to build a second Compassionate School at this site. The dimensions of the new school will be 60 feet x 30 feet (20m x 10m). As you may recognise from our previous photos, this school is really in need of a new building. Ever since Snow first visited this school 3 years ago, she has had the intention to give these children a better place to study. At that time there wasn’t enough money but now, fortunately, our generous Compassionate donors have donated enough money so that this project can now go ahead.
Yesterday, the team arrived at the school at about 10am, armed with crayons, coloured pencils, drawing paper, toys, balloons, hair pins and bands, wafers and other food. On arrival, they were welcomed by groups of cheerful students who will be studying in this new school building. We have known each other for many years. It is currently school summer holidays in Myanmar so there wasn’t the opportunity to meet with all of the hundreds of students – only those who had received the news of the visit. Kids are kids and they know nothing about what we are going to do. However, they all came with happiness and when they were asked who wanted to study at the new school, they all cheered.
Our contractor, Ko Aye Lwin, arranged for 3 special areas to break the earth with banana trees, eugenia leaves, river sand and new bricks to use for school’s foundations. Snow, Ko Naing Naing Tun (our team member) and the Sayadaw from this Man Pyay Monastic education school broke the earth with a small ceremony, knowing that in no time at all this site will be filled with a brand new school.
After this simple ceremony, it was time for a treat. The children were given balloons, hair pins and bands for the girls and balls and toys for many students. The balloons were drawn on and the children created many wonderful drawings, some of which can be seen in the photographs. Our treat for the special day was Mont Sane Paung, a traditional steam rice cake with coconut, coffee and wafers. It was a great time and we were so happy and contented because we can give them a brighter future.
Thank you everybody for the support for Myanmar Compassionate Hands
