Trip to Ngwe Saung Beach for Myanmar Artistes organized by Htoo Foundation<\/p>\n
All of us human beings are travelling through
\ntime as we busy ourselves with daily chores. In our daily struggle for survival we
\nusually find ourselves physically stressed out while the jamming urban
\nenvironment coupled with the helter -skelter city life harassed us psychologically.
\nMaking matters worse especially for the elderly is the sweltering urban heat that
\ninflicts a torturous physical and mental anguish on them.
\nAlthough we knew that a trip to a beach is supportive to our health and could be
\nan escape from the burning urban surrounding, expenses of travelling,
\naccommodation and food are, unfortunately, hurdles to indulging ourselves on
\nsuch a trip. Taking such a trip can be far more problematic for the elderly. A
\nretreat to a quiet surrounding such as a beach and a session of meditation there
\nwould refresh the mind and rejuvenate the body of those of advanced years. The
\nbenefits would be far greater if the trip is taken by those sharing the same talent
\nand natural flair.<\/p>\n
To fulfill the aspiration of
\nelderly musicians to escape from the hustle and bustle of city life and ease their
\nmental stress, U Tay Za, Chairman of Htoo Group of Companies and Htoo
\nFoundation, sponsored a trip for them to Ngwe Saung Beach. The Group,
\ncoprising over twenty members, includes such classic musicians as U Bogalay
\nTint Aung, U Min Naung, U Maung Maung Gyi, U Tin Hlaing, U Myo Myint<\/p>\n
Lay, U Than Myat Soe, U Kaytu Win Htut, Daw Tin Tin Mya, Daw Myint Myint
\nKhin, Daw Htar, Daw Cho Pyone and Daw Khin Khin Nyunt Than. Road
\ntransport from Yangon to Ngwe Saung, and accommodation and meals were
\nprovided at Htoo Group of Companies 'Aureum Palace Hotel and Myanmar
\nTreasure Hotels.<\/p>\n
A musical entertainment
\nperformed by classic singers with instrumental accompaniment by Myanmar Pyay
\nKyauk Seinn's ''Myanmar Classical Music Troupe'' was held on Ngwe Saung
\nbeach at 6:30 P.M. on 21 st November 2012.Locals from Ngwe Saung and
\nsurrounding villages gathered joyously on the beach to enjoy the opportune show.<\/p>\n
The singers, celebrated
\nnationwide, sang their still popualr old-time favorites while the audience heartily
\nechoed every line of the song in unison with the singer. 92-year old singer,
\nsongwriter and playwright, Ba Ba Bogalay Tint Aung, accompanied himself on a<\/p>\n
guitar and sang a song receiving roaring applause from the audience. He later on
\npresented a short play. He remarked that he had been to Ngwe Saung for the first
\ntime at the age of 19, and this second visit at age 92 has been so pleasant and
\nrelaxing that it rejuvenated him into 19-year old boy. The local audience of all
\nages expressed their thanks for organizing the show free of charge and voiced
\ntheir gratification of having seen and heard their favorite classic artistes
\nperforming live in their village.<\/p>\n
As Htoo Foundation has
\nbeen contributing toward the benefit of various ethnic groups within the country
\nregardless of race or religion, this trip is yet another virtuous activity organized by
\nHtoo Foundation with the purpose of refreshing the mind and rejuvenating the
\nbody of elderly citizens of Myanmar.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
