Heart of a Child– YAD turns up the Heat in Preparations

The third general preparatory meeting for the YAD organised “Heart of a Child” children’s week was held in the afternoon of 31st October. The meeting was chaired by administration advisor Tracy Chen in place of YAD 1’s President. Attendees of the meeting included YAD 1 Vice-president Andy Hsu, YAD 2 President and Vice-president Danny Chen and Jay Chen and several other YAD committee members, as well as the guiding Venerables.

Each group reported the progress they have made since the previous meeting and strived to provide elaborate details and explanations regarding their progress. Each group has so far completed approximately 70 percent of their work, and seeks out to complete the remainder of their tasks to bring to the schools and children of Christchurch a meaningful event.

Venerable Juexi has also accepted the proposal of scheduling Heart of a Child for next year as soon as possible, since many schools plan their school events and trips one year in advance. The Venerables expressed their appreciation for the support from YAD and BLIA, who together have allowed the southernmost Fo Guang Shan Temple in the world to light up their beacon of warmth and existence.
