Paying homage to the elderlies is a lovely Myanmar Traditional culture and it was such a great honor for us to offer to the elderlies in Myanmar New Year 1381.It was an auspicious moment for us to organize this paying homage ceremony, and we are very glad to pay homage to 183 elderlies- all aged above 90 years old in Yankin Township.

183 elderly people over 90 years old from 15 wards were paid homage on April 30, 2019, at Yankin Sasana Hall as a traditional ceremony for Myanmar New Year.Of the lot, 26 elderlies were still strong enough to walk to attend the ceremony at Yankin Sasana Hall. For the elders who were unable to attend the ceremony, Marga Community Care Team has send the donated cash and a basket to their homes with relevant ward administrators right after the ceremony on the same day.

Additionally, seniors from Marga Group and Marga Community Care team were offered to elderly people with baskets. One representative from Yankin Township spoke words of thanks on behalf of the elderlies.

It was such an auspicious moment for us, and we will continue bringing this lovely culture every year.
