Wat Don Jan - feeding 750 kids

A group of us get together regularly to buy, prepare , cook and serve food to 750 children
who live in a Wat (temple) either because they are orphans or their family do not have enough money to feed and keep them. Usually they depend on donated food which is normally rice or noodles so we just try to give them some protein and treats. The amount required is amazing. 60m kg Pork, enormous pots of rice, basil, beans, chilis ect so it took 3 people to stir the pots. It was much easier using the pork instead of the 96 chickens last time that had to be skinned and chopped - slippery things not to mention the time there was fried eggs and they had to cook 650 and keep them hot. There were less children then. I was not here to participate in that effort.
Have a look at my albums on Picasa to see more pictures of the lovely kids. Here are just a few of them showing them waiting through the necessary prayers and song before they can eat. They had just hung out their washing, the picture shows just one section hanging to dry.
