Visiting and donating rice by a monk.

When we begin to run low on rice in our storehouse, P' Don, head of office staff, tries to raise funds for rice. Some of our friends in Chiang Rai suggested that we contact a buddhist temple in Chiang rai. After learning more about our organization, one of the monks, Luangpo Popchoke of Wat Huayplakang in Chiang Rai, contacted us and donated funds for us to buy rice for the children in Baannana.

He approved budget to buy rice, 200 bags of rice, 5 km per a bag and came visit by himself. After giving rice bags to children, he spoke to the children, telling them that after being on the receiving end of charity, they should be givers of charity in the future. He comes to help regardless of the religion children here believe, Buddist or Christian or Islam. He helps all.
