[Melbourne]
Last Saturday (June 27), following Master's instructions
to keep the environment where we live clean and to beautify the world,
Mebourne initiates joined the Maribyrnong Council along with other
volunteers from the local communities for a day of cleaning.
Working in their
assigned areas, our initiates picked up all kinds of rubbish. It is
thanks to Master that we know how to serve the world effectively.
The other volunteers and Council workers, praising our initiates for
their hard work, invited us to join them in a BBQ. When we politely
declined, explaining that we are vegetarians, they applauded our group
for serving others without asking anything in return. We took this
opportunity to introduce Master Ching Hai and Her teachings. The Center
later received a special letter of appreciation for the work of our
fellow initiates. (letter enclosed)
Dear Sir,

Melbourne initiates participate
in the Green and Cleanup Day
|
The
second Clean and Green Maribyrnong cleanup day was held on last Saturday
and was a great success once again. The estimated twenty-five registered
participants were not only from our municipality, they were also from
Altona, Kensington and as far as Box Hill. These participants were
from The Supreme Master Ching Hai International Association, Melbourne
Center. We would like to take this opportunity to thank them for their
great support on the cleanup days.
