YAD Car Washing Service Alive and Well!

With the end of the summer school holidays for high school students closing in, on 28th January, YAD members Sheng-Han Lim, Cindy Hsu and Anne Chiang took to FGS South Island’s car park and washed 2 cars as part of their carwash fundraising effort.

As the youths washed the cars, feelings of team spirit and contentment filled their hearts, as they were aware that servicing the community and being industrious are attributes of a good Buddhist youth.

As the YAD members are well aware that the people of Christchurch seldom have their cars washed by car washing parlours who charge an arm and a leg, they only ask for 20 or 25 dollars for a car to be washed, inside and out without a compromise in quality.

The purpose of the fundraising activity is for the YAD to create good affinities with the supporters of the car wash service, and show the power of young people-who are capable of using the Dharma in their everyday lives.
