In December 2013, following Supreme Master Ching Hai’s compassionate instruction to help those less fortunate, our Association members from the West African nation of Togo shared the festive New Year spirit by distributing vegan food to disadvantaged individuals.
On December 29, a team from the Lome Center held a food-sharing activity with our homeless friends and others in need around the city and port of Lome. Then on New Year’s Eve, our Association members of the Kpalimé Center distributed packages of rice, vegetable oil, spaghetti, tomato paste and soy-based nuggets to disadvantaged people in the city of Kpalimé and the area of Agou.
Touched by Supreme Master Ching Hai’s love and care, the recipients joyfully expressed their appreciation.
