Abbot Donates 3,000 Eggs to Support Firefighters Battling Forest Fires in Thailand
Phrakhru Paibul Jetiyanurak, the abbot of Wat Lok Moli in Chiang Mai, donated 3,000 eggs to aid firefighters battling forest fires in the province. The eggs were blessed and symbolized both moral support and essential protein for the firefighters. The donation aimed to shield the volunteers from harm and uplift their spirits. The inferno threatened 10 provinces, with an estimated 160,000 hectares at risk, and investigators attribute the fires to local farming practices.
