An article by John Cannon on Moanoghar, published on 2014-11-07 Moanoghar is making a concerted effort to mobilize well-wishers both in Bangladesh and abroad. Some of them are very positive in their support of the school, Ashok points out, in terms not of financial resources but of “intellectual support”—framing policies on the kinds of programs to be developed for the students’ welfare and working as volunteers. Speaking of which, I myself saw a Japanese girl teaching Japanese in Moanoghar, and previously a Japanese volunteer had been there for one year. An English gentleman also comes every year for a few months to teach English. Ashok informed me that former students now in Australia, Korea, and Japan are in the process of organizing themselves to collect donations to help supplement the needs of the current students. ---------------------------------------- This is the fourth article in our series “Buddhist Voices from the Land of Rivers.” Here, John Cannon is in conversation with Ashok Kumar Chakma, executive director of Moanoghar, an educational institution for indigenous children in the Chittagong Hill Tracts. newlotus.buddhistdoor/en/news/d/42387 Ashok Kumar Chakma
