It began with a proposal by Günter Hoffmann (He is a board member of the Förderverein Help Myanmar eV), which now became an institution: To offer something special to the orphans from the school hostel, the Ethnic House and the Golden Houses. This year (mid-May) it was an excursion to the zoo, the City Park and the most famous Pagoda ofMandalay, the Mahamuni Pagoda. The Förderverein has covered the costs of this highlight in the lives of orphaned children, who all live in the PDO: transport by bus, entrance fees, meals and Ks4000 pocket money for each child . A total of 230 children and caregivers were on the way this day: Here is the report of Min Min Zaw, who took a great part of organizing this excursion-day.
