.” There are over 2700 students including 970 orphans who are studying at this monastic school. The monastery does not have enough space for all the students and the hostel was used as a teaching classroom at day times. The donation will be contributed to build the hostel for the orphans including the necessary fundamental food-stuffs such as rice bags, beans, cooking oil, salt, etc. which cover one month necessity. During the donation event, Phyo Myat Aung, the winner and Chan Myae Maung Cho, second runner-up of this year Myanmar Idol and other contestants from Myanmar Idol Season 3 entertained and also played fun games together with students from the monastery.
