Donations to the Education Fund for Poor Children

Once again this year, Lee Marine is pleased to have attended and given donations to the Education Fund for Poor Children. The ceremonies were held recently at Vichit Sangkraram Temple, Wat Kuan in Thai language. The Pha-Pa Ceremony, known as Picked-Up Robes Offering Ceremony or Robe-Offering ceremony, is a main merit-making event for Buddhists.
