Kawpan Lan Orphanage
February 18, 2017
In a small Myanmar village, in 2012, a man and his wife died and left a 1 month old baby. The neighbor villagers cared for him until they brought him to Kawpan Lan monastery. The abbott of Kawpan Lan's monastery has a sister who is a Buddhist nun. Her house is just outside the monastery grounds and there was extra space in her home. The nun took in the baby boy, Bong Play Mount and the orphanage was started.
In 2013, a crisis that frequently occurs in Myanmar, happened to a family with 4 children in that area. The mother died. Soon after the father realized that he could not raise his children, he was too poor. If and when he went to work, they would be left alone and eventually would not survive. He heard that the Abbott, Sayathaw, was taking children in trouble, to care for and educate them in his Monastic Education Centre. Arrangements were made and he “sold”, transferred the care of his 4 children to Sayathaw for a token amount, for life.
The children were:
Kyaw Kyaw, a boy, 3 years old
Cherry Thin, a girl, 2 years old
Htar Htar Eie, a girl, 1 year old
Htar Htar Khin, a girl, 1 month old, still being breastfed.
When Sayathaw brought the children to the monastery, his sister, the nun, took them into her home. The extra space was then being filled and used with love and compassion. The children have since thrived and are happy and healthy.

Kyaw Htaung Taw’s father died in 2014 when Kyaw was only 1 year old. Soon after, Kyaw;s mother remarried. The step-father did not want Kyaw. His mother, trying to help Kyaw survive, gave him to Sayathaw. The nun then had 6 children. Soon after, a seventh parentless child was brought by Sayathaw to the nun.
With 7 young children to care for in her home, the nun enlisted a middle aged lady (mother of San Da, 1 of the school teachers), and a 20 year old illiterate and homeless girl, to help her. These 3 ladies provide total care to the 7 orphans given to them by the powers that be, through the hands of a man who has committed his life to rescuing children.

7 Orphans are in “Heaven on Earth” with Sayathaw and his sister, the nun
The 7 children now range in age 3 to 6 years. They are thriving, healthy and happy.This is a remarkable testament to the LOVE, CARING, and SHARING that the 3 ladies have for their unfortunate fellow mankind.
Nothing on earth, natural or man made, is more beautiful than this.
KAWPAN LAN MEDICAL CENTRE – is critically needed to provide healthcare and health education to all the surrounding villages, the Education Centre and the orphanage.
