Group to Bogalay

School project at Thaman Chuang Village, Bogalay Township

The walls of the single storey school building and the rafters are up.  The school will have 11 classrooms.  A water pump and tank is the next thing required.

We were welcomed by the children and the villagers who lined the path on both sides
leading to the school building.  They had been waiting for us from early in the morning. 
The children sang in unison:
“Firefly Mission Group of Singapore, wealthy and healthy, 
Everytime visits Thaman Chaung Village, Bogalay Township.” 

When we left, a group of villagers followed us part of the way
as we walked to the village clinic.
