About Project
Mahadipawuntha School is located in Apyinpadan Village, Hlaingtharya Township, Yangon. The village is extremely poor, and the nearest government school is quite far. Many children stop attending school after completing primary education and take up labor jobs instead. Due to the dire educational situation, the head monk provides free lunch to encourage children to continue their studies. The school lacks a proper building, with only an old, deteriorating structure previously donated by a Myanmar worker in Korea.
The head monk wished to provide education up to the middle school level and requested school building support from the Pan Thee Foundation. During the site visit, it was observed that the designated land was a waterlogged lowland. The abbot took necessary measures to prepare the land for construction. As a result, a two-story school building with six classrooms was successfully built and donated.
