Donation and praying...

This morning, my mom, my aunt, my sister, her hubby and I joined the big donation event held at the school situated in front of my shop. They performed a religious ceremony that we chanted and prayed together and we offered food to the monks afterwards. Offering foods to monks is a way of making merit and supporting Buddhism. There were 129 monks attending the event. All the foods are dry and canned. After the donation, the foods will be sent to the schools and soldiers working and living in the 3 southern-bordered provinces. And the prayers are for the soldiers, schools, teachers, students and the villagers living in those area to be safe from the daily unrest situation there..
