With more than K20 million public contribution, rice bags and formula milk powder were donated to YGW Orphanage in Pathein, according to Dr Than Min Htut, who is well-known as Pindaya Mee Eain Shin for his philanthropic work.
Located in Pathein in Ayeyawady Region, YGW houses a total of about 200 children, including 30 young babies who still need bottle-feeding. It needs two rice bags for a day meal.
With a public contribution of more than K21.6 million, 171 rice bags and 114 formula milk powder packs, enough to feed the children for three months, were donated.
“Among those who have been hungry for love, these children don’t get their mother’s love, father’s love and family’s love. When we arrived, they gave us their hands and asked us to hold them. And they don’t want to get down when they are carried. They have been hungry for love. We provided 171 rice bags and 114 formula milk powder packs with the public contribution to those children,” Dr Than Min Htut wrote on his Facebook account on 23 April.
Donors include more than K8 million donors, K3.7 million donors, K2 million donors, more than K1.2 million donors and K1 million donors.
“We can give the Sayadaw the food security for three months. We can show our love and humanity for those orphans who have been hungry for love with a handful of rice and a milk bottle” he said. — MT/ZS/Ed
