The Mandalay Project
In June our wonderful team paid a visit to a Monastery in Pin OoLwin, a two hour drive from Mandalay, Myanar which is home to 1,115 boys aged 3-18 years, most of which are orphans. The Project is now underway and In order to help these boys, the first part of the Project will see us start a clothes drive.
The children there have no clothes apart from what is donated. They barely have a t-shirt that isn’t full of holes or trousers that expose half their legs. Our aim is to provide clothing for every boy so we need to find at least 1100 t-shirts and trousers suitable for the boys aged 3-18. But in order to do this, we will need your help.
Raid your wardrobes for everything you no longer wear and donate them to the Mandalay Project. All the children are severely stunted due to the lack of nutrition so they do not need large sizes, but please have a look for any items you could spare and send them to an address in Hua Hin where the collection will take place.
All the clothes will be collected by Annie and Paul, two amazing volunteers who visited the Monastery in June. Thanks to them we have a place to start the clothes drive and with your support we should be able to reach our goal.
If you have any clothes to donate then please contact us through the website or through our Facebook so we can arrange for you to drop them off.
