SUMMER 2009-ACTIVITIES
Part III: The Student trip to Mahabodhi Temple, Summer 2009.
It is fortunate that we can again work together with other supporters to sponsor the annual Summer Award Event for the students this year. Our Buddhist Nun and the local Indian volunteers have chattered buses to take the students from the remote villages to visit Mahabodhi Temple. Afterward they walk together to the nearby newly built Vietnamese Buddhist Temple for the award even.
Those school children are fortunate to be able to make a visit to Mahabodhi Temple. We wish that we can be there with them.
Here is a glimpse of their visit to Mahabodhi Temple:
