THE Weaving and Vocational Training School of the Small-Scale Industries Department in Cinmual Ward, Falam Township, is preparing to resume machine weaving, hand weaving and traditional jap weaving courses. Applications are now being accepted for the hand weaving and traditional jap weaving courses. Yesterday morning, Deputy Minister for Social Welfare, Relief and Resettlement Dr Thant Zaw Lwin, together with Chin State Minister for Natural Resources and Environmental Conservation U Win Zaw Oo and members of the Chin State Rehabilitation and Reconstruction Committee, inspected the school. The instructor in charge reported on the training equipment and recruitment of trainees, and the deputy minister gave necessary instructions.

The deputy minister and his party then inspected the hand weaving school building, male and female trainee dormitories, the instructor’s house, and the renovation of the two-room staff quarters and principal’s house. They also visited the Border Area Ethnic Youth Training School under the Department of Education and Training and inspected the renovation of the office building, principal’s house, storage room, trainee dormitories and dining hall, as well as the Township Education Officer’s Office and staff housing. The deputy minister instructed officials to ensure that the quality of materials and workmanship met the required standards and that the renovation work was completed on schedule.

He then presented donations from well-wishers for the renovation of Yanpyay-Manpyay Aungtawmu Pagoda, founded by missionary Sayadaw Abhidhaja Agga maha Saddhammajotika U Ottamasara. The pagoda was built on 22 March 1995. Its stupa robes are now faded, while the railings have been damaged. The two lion statues, stairs, Sayadaw’s statue and entrance gate also need repainting. Donations are therefore being collected for the renovation. Those wishing to contribute to the renovation of Yanpyay-Manpyay Aungtawmu Pagoda in Falam Township may contact U Min Min Latt on 09 448197878.
