Brightening the Lives of the Less Fortunate Young Ones

Children’s Fun Day – Celebrating Thadingyut Festival

On a regular basis, Marga visits and donates to 17 different monastic schools, orphanages and a school for the blind. In addition to donations of cash and supplies, we spend our time with these less fortunate children in hopes of brightening their days with fun and laughter.

In October 2014, Marga held its first “Race to the Light – Children’s Fun Day” to honour the Myanmar Thadingyut Festival and Nate Ban Zay. On that sunny day in October, 200 Orphans from Youth Development Benevolent Villa and Department of Social Welfare and Development came to enjoy all the fun and surprises we prepared for them: singing and dancing, magic show, storytelling, caricature drawing and creative arts and crafts. Highlight of the day’s pack programs was the hunt for hidden treasure in the maze specially constructed for the fun day.

“As a father, I fully understand that children need their parents to guide and support them in their different stages of life. I hope that our presence can assure them that many people care for them and that they are not alone. Our MCC activities are part of a long-term program so that we will keep supporting these orphans in the hope of helping them become good and responsible citizens of society.”
