Doh Eain property management company is working with the residents to open an alley garden and children’s playground between 29th and 30th streets in Pabedan Township of Yangon on 31 January.
At present, the officials of the property management company, township administrators and members of municipal committee jointly clean the rubbish dump, place the seats and flower vases and the three artists of Pabedan Artists Organization paint on the wall of the back alley.
“The project is led by Doh Eain and the street committee. Firstly, we have to clean the rubbish with the relevant departments. We arranged it six months in advance.
We filled the land and paved with concrete. We have been painting on the wall here for five days free of charge. We want to request the residents not to discard their rubbishes in the back alley. It will cost about K6 million for wall painting. But we do paintings here for free,” said U Khin Maung Win, Vice-chair of Myanmar Artists Organization (Pabedan). “The residents and members of street committee clean the rubbishes in the alley. We complete cleansing and sewage system. The people should not throw their waste to be clean alley in the long run. The street committee and residents also need to cooperate for the long term. It will include a garden and playground. There are currently 2 CCTVs in the alley, and we will install more later,” said U Kyaw Hein, chairperson of the street committee.
The artists paint the pictures of tigers, elephants and forests on the 60ftx150ft wall of back alley free of charge and the prices of painting is about K6 million. Doh Eain has opened 13 back alley gardens and playgrounds so far in Yangon, said U Pyae Phyo Zaw, Community Engagement Officer of Doh Eain.
