Volunteers sweep and clean the pagoda every Saturday… It’s not a one-time task… it goes on the whole year round…

This is the assembly place for SATURDAY SWEEPING VOLUNTEERS… Religious people of young and old enthusiastically contribute in this good deed…

MAINTENANCE is an important issue for those in charge of Myanmar’s pagodas and temples, which play an integral part in the lives of the country’s Buddhists and are also popular as tourist attractions.

The maintenance of the pagodas continues throughout the year. Even sweeping is a great task. Fortunately, many tasks such as sweeping and cleaning, is also provided by volunteers who take time out of their day to help preserve their heritage. This SATURDAY SWEEPING VOLUNTEERS ORGANIZATION is founded 100 years ago. Every Saturday morning, we see hundreds of volunteers tirelessly sweeping and cleaning the pagoda compound.

I envy these people and this post is dedicated to the SATURDAY SWEEPING VOLUNTEERS ORGANIZATION. Don’t you want to be one of them?
