"A goodhearted friend called ‘a helper’ is some body who guards you when you’re negligent. He guards your property when you’re negligent. He keeps you safe in times of danger. When something needs doing, he supplies you with twice the money you need." (Sakyamuni Gauthama Buddha-DN 31)

Another year, and another great deed done by the volunteers of We Care For You! For the second time, we all took the time to clean around Kennedy Road and the surrounding area of our monastery location. Many of us cleaned garbage and litter around the ditch, or left on the grass and small ponds. We showed the care for our environment helping to clean bags of garbage
