Our field trip to Hsi Lai Temple was a SUCCESS!
Pictures are up on our Facebook and we're working on getting them on the website. We had a group of 53 people. One of the students brought donuts in the morning for the earlybirds. Once at the Temple the kids munched on snacks (provided by yours truly) while we got organized. The kids asked plenty of questions on the tour and were extremely polite. To my immense surprise, the kids loved the vegan buffet. It's amazing what kids will eat if you give them a choice - raw carrots, jicama, tempura, miso soup...
The primary goal of the trip was to educate everyone about Chinese and Buddhist culture. The secondary goal was to help build and promote a sense of community and friendship among our students. Both were more than achieved.
I am now turning my attention to Friday's Demonstration at Holiday in the Park. It's a busy month, but I love it. :)
