We Care For You - Past Projects

 

Blossoms of Summer 2011

Noble Friends of Toronto organized a personal development prog ram for youth in the community. The prog ram provided a chance for youth to discuss issues that they felt were important to today’s youth. They also had a chance to get into groups and find what they thought were the best solutions to these problems before having heard solutions in the advice by the venerable monks of Toronto Mahamevnawa. Discussions around recent current affairs such as scandals and social issues in the news were also part of the group discussion, allowing the youth to discuss how to avoid undesirable behaviour in society and how to become useful individuals within our society. The aim of this interactive youth program was to encourage them to find true happiness, for them explore their positive attributes and help them realize their abilities. It was also a way to promote positive relationships with peers, provide the opportunity to learn healthy behaviours, practice communication within a group and improve problem solving skills. NFT would like to make this an annual event, as it would greatly benefit society’s youth by educating them on how be become more effective and productive within in our communities, families and in society. It is also a great way for them to develop self-esteem and meet like-minded youth with whom they can build lasting friendships.

    We learned many great things about helping others from our great teacher, Supreme Buddha. Before becoming a Buddha, our Bodhisatta (Buddha-to-be) was able to collect immense merits by helping others and providing a service to the society. 

    Our Supreme Buddha gave the best example about helping others and serving the society.

    Over several years, our community service wing has done numerous community service projects, both in Canada and Sri Lanka, with the guidence of our teacher, Ven. Kiribathgoda Gnanananda Loku Swaminwahanse.

    We like for all of you to rejoice in all these photos and meritorious projects we have done for the society.
