Dear friends, Greetings from monastics of AIAB, Plum Village Hong Kong. In September 2020, our sangha humbly asked your help in rebuilding our houses in Luk Wu area, Lantau Island. Our House in Luk Wu Volunteers helped in “Do it by ourselves” campaign We received a lot of love from many friends and volunteers in supporting this meaningful project. However, the sangha and volunteers cannot execute engineering works that only professional contractors can accomplish, and cannot produce items that can only be procured from manufacturers/suppliers. Due to the substantial costs, in order to make our dream comes true, there is a need for us to launch the second phase fund raising. Please choose one or more needed items from the following list and contact us (e.g. One set of “Shrine and Decors” for $40k). We will issue and mail a tax-deductible receipt, Letter of Gratitude, and a Commemorative Book to acknowledge your compassion and generosity.

Co-organized by: Center for Religious and Spirituality Education, EUHK, email: crse@eduhk.hk. Plum Village Mindfulness Academy, email: aiab@pvfhk.org. Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh and the Plum Village community recognize the importance of creating sustainable and lasting programs in schools that maintain the happiness and well-being of teachers, administrators, students, and parents. We care about your personal well-being and happiness, and believe that this is essential in creating a favorable learning environment. In our extensive work with educators around the world, we have seen that when the teacher is personally supported by mindfulness practice, the positive impact is naturally transmitted into the classroom. Target: all education professionals, students, and parents are welcome, regardless of your religous background and teaching experience.
