In Mandalay, relocated school waits for a saviour

A monastic school for poor and orphan children is struggling to survive after being forced to relocate into the countryside. Sein San Yay school was forced to move to a vacant plot in Hnan Kye village after the township’s Sangha Nayaka Committee deemed it was “squatting” on Mount Labo in Mandalay’s Patheingyi township. After relocating to the foot of the mountain, it was forced to move to its current site.

The monastery has taught local children since 2007. In 2011, it was designated an official monastic school by the State Sangha Maha Nayaka Committee and Department of the Promotion and Propagation of Sasana, and has almost 100 students.
Three monks, including head of the school, Sayadaw U Ottama, and five female teachers are educating more than 50 male novices and more than 40 nuns.
But the move to the new site has been fraught with problems. A lack of funds means the school has been unable to construct new classrooms or buildings to house the children.
When The Myanmar Times visited recently, young novices and nuns were playing out in the 40 Celsius heat, while others were sheltering under a tarpaulin. Most were dressed in torn and dirty robes.
“After we had moved, we had difficulty with living arrangements, transportation, and food and water,” U Ottama said.
When they left the previous site at the foot of Mt Labo, the students were forced to leave behind four buildings that the sayadaw had constructed with the assistance of local donors.
The school teaches primary-level courses, so the sayadaw tries to send the students in middle and high level to Phaung Daw Oo monastic school. “I can give them K200 each for bus fare. In 2013, I sent 15 monks. The number of middle- and high-school students has reached 40, and I can’t give them pocket money,” the sayadaw said.
Aged from four to 15 years, the students are orphans or come from poor families in Shan and Kachin states and Magwe, Sagaing and Mandalay regions. A girl who matriculated from the school has returned as a volunteer teacher.
“My child hood dream was to be a nurse. I teach the children personal hygiene while I am giving them their lessons. It is a kind of nursing. I’ll keep teaching here as long as sayadaw wants,” said 20-year-old nun Daw Sandar, who matriculated earlier this year.
“We couldn’t offer computer or basic spoken English classes during the summer holidays. And it’s hard to teach because we need proper buildings and accommodation and teaching materials,” another teacher said.
Cabbage and cauliflowers grown near the camp is the students’ main source of food. Meat and fish are like a dream for them.
“We combine all the kinds of vegetables we get and boil them with a little oil. We can mix curry with vegetables and meat once in a blue moon when there is a donor. In my dreams, I eat meat curry every day,” said eighth-standard student novice Pandita, 16.
