Aung Soe Min, 4/E Zaw naing, J/E Chit Nyo Win, j/E Zaw Win, BSN Tin Win, attended the meeting.Mrs C/E mg Mg Ohn and E/E Ni Win requested leave as today is raining heavyly.Explained to them what have done. They all are very pleased with the arrangement as ours is benefitting both to farmers and continous profit going to monasteries. Buddhist people are very pleased when they have chance to provide food for monks.C/E Zaw Aung, 2/E Ko Ko Latt requested to ask donation from on board crew monthly till another year as they are too anxious with the arrangements. I have to slow them down and told them that we will keep some spare money ( about 50 Lakh ) for un foreseeing needs.regarding extra 10 to 15 tractors through Marine department is also approved by them.Workshop owner ( who is township chairman for taking care of monks in Kaw hmu ) explained that modification cost more than ecpected it is 30000 kyats instead of 25000 kyats as one more improvement has to be done and crew families approved. diesel 3 bottles, gear oil, lub oil are also needed to run the machines and it may cost about 400000 kyats for 40 machines. it was approved.Loan 10 lakhs to 4/E also granted so that his family can plant the paddy and upon yield he will return the money to Monsoon and we will decide this money to donate to which pagoda if still need to repair. All agree that pagoda in Lat Puttta area is better suit as we can imagine our good donation to remote area pagoda.Also to allot three tractors ( i.e becomes 43 pcs in total ) to 4/E's village Ye Dwin Gone at Lat Putta Township.Crew & families members signed the account balance sheet.The workshop man has reported to Col Thet Naing Oo and Col requested two units more to his area i.e one each to two extra villages. The chief monk invites crew and families member to come to Kaw Hmu to witness the donation and to perform the prayers. I told to all that we aim to go on 14th June. Tentatively all agree to come along. I have requested to workshop man NOT TO ARRANGE ANY TYPE OF MEDIA / JOURNALIST etc.. during that time as we all want to keep very low profile, same has been informed to Col Thet Naing Oo ( cos our transction amount is quite high and we do not wish to be auditted ).Later we run a photo slide show, where the things / rice were distributed etc..we show some supporting papers for account etc..Capt. Hone bought Samusa and I gave tea , we ate and drink.Then I run to Ba Yint Naung Good Brother Company and paid the cash, see the machines. PRC made and spareparts etc are easy to get and cheap. It comes with many attachments for different purpose.Ag Ag likes our Idea and he also will buy same for donations. He is coming back in couple of days to go to Lat Putta.Attached with latest balance sheet.
