1000 plus
Our absolute & total gratitude, a 750+ reward & a welcome visit to Kaungsuwai if you're in Yangon. A library is fundamental to every educational institution. Your 1000+ contribution will significantly enable this library project to succeed. A library is only part of it. You will be acknowledging & supporting what these Buddhist monks are trying to do. Their plan is simple but so far-sighted, and has the potential to truly help educate countless remote & marginalised children across Myanmar.
