I used to study in this section of Wat Mahadhatu. It was
actually founded by the lineage of Phra Dhammananda from Burma
(based at Wat Thamma-O). The head teacher, Phra Sompong
Mudito, is a very dedicated teacher and kind person.
Yes, he indeed does a lot of work and receives very little
funding. However, he has gathered lots of lay and ordained
students for evening classes, including many lay women and Mae
Chi.
Thanks for bringing his work to the attention of the group.
Best,
jm
