The uniform identifies the person as a monk/nun and represents what they believe in which is simplicity and detachment of materialism.

Fill, pay and leave in under 5 minutes! This unit is part of Trio’s Cultural Perspectives lesson series. It consists of two lessons, which are suitable for lower and upper primary grades and are particularly supportive for EAL students.
