Sympathisers from across Burma have been flocking to the Aung Theikdi Buddhist monastery in Pegu Division since news spread that 144 families were sheltering there after their homes were bulldozed and demolished.
Donors and well-wishers, including several high-profile activists such as former students leader Moe Thee Zun and activist Nay Myo Zin, have been offering relief supplies and aid to the families who have been sheltering at the monastery since 4 February when their homes were demolished in nearby Hlegu Township where local authorities deemed them illegal squatters.
