Kathin robe offering schedule announced at Wat Don Chan. "Wat Don Chan". Chiang Mai Province invites generous donors to help over 900 orphaned children.
Phra Prachanat Muni, abbot of Wat Don Chan, observed the poverty in various village communities and was aware of families facing difficulties such as parental death, divorce, drug addiction, imprisonment, and abandonment, resulting in many orphaned and educationally disadvantaged children.
In 1985, a quality of life development project was established as an act of gratitude to the nation and monarchy, accepting orphaned, abandoned, poor, and underprivileged children to receive education from pre-kindergarten, kindergarten, lower and upper primary, lower and upper secondary, vocational certificate, through higher education levels.
Currently, 983 orphaned children live, study, and reside at the temple to receive education and become quality citizens of the country’s future.
