This project was what gave a handful of devotees, who were also friends, the initial idea to form the youth sub group, Noble Friends of Toronto, as part of Toronto Mahamevnawa Buddhist Monastery. This group soon gained recognition for their devotion to the monastery and also received recognition from the venerable monks as well as from the most venerable chief monk, venerable Kiribathgoda Gnānānanda Thera. After a few name changes, the group decided to keep Noble Friends of Toronto as their official name.
NFT assisted in the creation of hundreds of lanterns which were offered as light to the Supreme Buddha. This activity not only helped to form NFT, but also brought a lot of youth together to work collaboratively in a team setting.
