Stationery distribution to students in Bagan School

On 1st November 2013, Guests from the 'Road to Mandalay' river cruise ship accompanied Dr. Hla Tun to Bagan School, to distribute stationery to the 347 students in Grades 1 to 8. The Government originally provided a school covering Grades 1 to 5 only. In 2000, the 'Road to Mandalay' Social Contribution donated a building which catered for Grades 6, 7 and 8. The school is still supported by 'Road to Mandalay' and on the 1st November, the students received exercise books, rulers and pencils. Students also performed dances for their visitors.

On the 15th December, a similar visit was made with, of course, different Guests. On this occasion, the students received exercise books, pencils, sharpeners and erasers and, again, dances were performed for the visitors.

On the 1st November, the students received exercise books, rulers and pencils.
