to Children in Need

On December 17 and 18, 2004, initiates and Convenient Method practitioners from the Lome Center held clean-up and cultural activities at the Children's SOS Village, whose residents include orphans and abandoned and underprivileged children from zero to seventeen years of age.

During the clean-up activity on the morning of December 17, the initiates cleared the environment around the Village of trash and debris with the help of the children and their teachers. The next day, an enjoyable atmosphere enveloped the facility as the youngsters played various games, conducted a music recital and afterwards received personal gifts, generating great happiness among them.

A thank-you letter from the village head of the Children's SOS Village to Association members for the loving concern and material aid they offered to the community's youth.

Through Master's blessings, both of the activities were successful as the residents of the Village got the opportunity to learn more about The Supreme Master Ching Hai International Association, and also enjoyed vegetarian sandwiches prepared by the Lome initiates.

In addition, the Lome Center donated four computers, a can of cooking oil, two cartons of soap, three bags of rice, garments for the children and various children's games to the Village. The staff was touched by the activities and the much needed items provided by the initiates, especially the computers, and warmly thanked the brothers and sisters for their efforts.

The time spent by the Lome practitioners at the Children's SOS Village allowed a group of youngsters in great need of affection to reap the benefits of Master's unconditional love and warmth. Thus, honor and thanks are due to Her for helping to comfort the children's hearts. Through Her compassion, the little ones were given great joy. Thank You Master.
