On August 7^th, Minister Ito visited Mahamuni Widow & Helpless Children Welfare Centre in Mahamuni Village, Roan Upazila of Chittagong District.
 
The Mahamuni Welfare Centre was established in 1976 by Rev. Tenjo Watanabe, a Japanese Buddhist priest. Since then this institution has been funded and managed by a Buddhist group from Japan. At present with the help from Buddhist sponsors from Japan as well as support from welfare organizations in other countries, the management of the orphanage as NGO is in the hand of a local community.
 
Over 100 children under 17 years old lives here and many Japanese volunteers visit the center.
