On 7 April, 19 boys from our New Life Projects in Kanchanaburi and Chumporn ordinated as novice monks, along with 67 other boys, as part of activities associated with the Summer Ordination Ceremony (honoring the birthday of HRH Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn on April 2). They will learn Buddhist teachings and practice meditation for 20 days from 7-26 April at Wat Sapan Temple in Bangkok and the Sampanta Mediation Center at the New Life Project in Kanchanaburi.
