Selling Wheels for a Good Cause
Fo Guang Shan South Island kitchen chef Ms. Gina Chen kindly donated her car to Buddha's Light International Association South Island Young Adult Division so that the youth can sell it as part of their fundraising effort. The car was sold today on the 7th of November for NZ$1700. The money raised from selling the car will be use to organize YAD activities and promote education.
Ms. Gina Chen said she was delighted to donate her car to the YAD to sell, as throughout the year, she has been touched by the growth and maturity of YAD. She hopes that by this donation, she will be able to help encourage YAD and help to take them a step further.
YAD activities organiser Shenghan Lim helped to sell the car online, and during the short time of two or three days, the car was sold. With this money, YAD will be able to organize more activities and contribute to the community. YAD expressed that they will use the money wisely, and use it in a helpful manner. They also expressed their gratitude to the Temple, Venerable Abbess Manshin, the Venerables, BLIA members and devotees for their on going encouragement and support.
