Jingkang Central Elementary School, Mengsuo School and Jingyang Guogan Lincoln Elementary School in Special Region 4 in Myanmar (Burma) serve many students who are orphans or who come from single-parent families. The students primarily study the Chinese language, but are in need of computers, video projectors, textbooks, reading materials and other resources for academic studies and physical education. Thus, the schools recently asked for international assistance.
On May 20, 2015, following Master’s loving instruction, a team of our Association members from Yunnan Province went to several stores to purchase supplies requested by the schools. Hearing of our efforts to help the schools, the store owners offered discounts and some even wrapped notebooks to give to the students. The owner of a video projector store also contributed RMB 200 to the schools. Our relief team picked up the supplies and loaded a vehicle on May 24. Then, along with another vehicle loaded with computers, projectors, cameras and other equipment, we drove to Jingkang Central Elementary School in Nanban, Special Region 4, Myanmar (Burma) near China. We were accompanied by the director of the county education bureau and a representative of the schools’ principals.
Jingkang Central Elementary School arranged a contribution ceremony for all three schools on May 25. Director Yuan of Special Region 4’s administrative office, two county chiefs, the directors of the education bureau, and two school principals attended the ceremony.
At the event, we introduced The Supreme Master Ching Hai International Association and the benefits of the Quan Yin Method to the students, teachers and guests, and encouraged people to change their diet, treat animals as friends, pray for peace and oppose war. After our talk, the audience applauded warmly and many were moved to tears. We also played several Supreme Master Television programs, providing the first opportunity for the government officials to hear Master’s words. Afterwards the officials happily said they would continue to watch Supreme Master Television, study Master’s teachings, and play Supreme Master Television programs at their schools to plant the seeds of love in students’ hearts.
In addition, we introduced the audience to a collection of Supreme Master Ching Hai’s lectures on veganism and environmental protection. At the ceremony, the school gave an honorary certificate to our Association.
Thanks to Master’s blessing, we finished our tasks smoothly.
