          On  June, 1927 Myanmar era, the name was changed to BBOA ( Burma Buddhist Orphanage Association ). The association was sponsored by Sayadaw U Pawara, other  Sayadaws and residents of Mandalay, totaling 11 persons. On the first general meeting, they decided to give free tuition allowance to the orphans.
          At the time when colonial education was revolted and national education was given priority by the patriots, this association was first established.
