The candlemaker

Myanmar


We have been supporting a small health center in a village on the outskirts of Yangon for many years and each time we are in Yangon we plan a visit. This time whilst in the village we came upon a small candle factory that we hadn't seen before. Fascinating to see rows and rows of moulds, hot wax, tapers and drying candles. The candles are sold to monasteries in Yangon bringing in a well needed extra income to the village.
