Since the economic crisis began, donations to the two community education centres have been steadily declining which limits the number of boys who can study there. Some students have had to quit school because the monk can't provide them with financial support. The money coming from donations is not sufficient to support all the children. We have been cutting down expenses to the bare minimum. Kids have to share books with one another.
Older students give their old clothes to the younger ones.
Faced with such a daunting task, however, the abbot is optimistic. I'm doing every thing I can to help as many boys as possible. You can show you care by supporting the projects featured here each week. You can also let us know about people who selflessly help others so we can honour them in these pages.
