Stationery Distribution in Pauk Myaing Village

Inwa (also called Ava) is an ancient city, situated on the east bank of the Ayeyarwaddy River, around 11 miles south of Mandalay. Pauk Myaing Village is about four miles from Ava. Most of the villagers in Pauk Myaing keep cattle to produce cow's milk. Maize grows well and supports both the villagers and their cattle.

The Primary school in Pauk Myaing has 187 students and, on 15th October 2013, Dr. Hla Tun visited the school with a party of Guests from the 'Road to Mandalay' to donate stationery.
