Reviewing the Successes of “Heart of a Child” Week!

The "Heart of Child" week concluded on the 5th of December, and was rounded up with a review meeting at the Tea House with Venerable Juexi, Buddha’s Light International Association South Island president Almeric Cheng, advisor Sandy Liao, director Louisa Kuo and BLIA Young Adult Division South Island members, to a total of 15 people.

Previously, Mr. Cheng encouraged the youths to take on the responsibility of events with courage and enthusiasm. With this week’s event, the youth showed they could do just that with their display of maturity and growth. In the interest of future events, Mr. Cheng offered to start a class on organization and tour guiding skills; all in a bid to help the youths unlock their potential.

Advisor Liao expressed to the youths that they should value and treasure being at the Temple, as they can learn many valuable skills. She explained that the experiences and knowledge gained at the Temple will always be useful throughout life, and is a once in a lifetime opportunity to make the most out of. Director Kuo encouraged the youths to do their best, broaden their horizons, and keep working hard to grow and develop.

The youths took in these wise words and learned from their experiences through this event, namely how to take care of younger children and how to introduce the Temple and its artwork. YAD 1 vice president Jason Liu expressed that he will work hard with the YAD members to get them even more familiar with the hand gestures, so to allow for even better performances in the future.
