Twenty years ago Living Compassion were invited to Zambia to share a meal and to see if they could help a small community where there was a lot of suffering. Seven out of every ten children never made it past age 5. Now this community is thriving - as 1000 children are fed from huge vats of mealie meal every day. As part of the Living Compassion sangha I get to raise funds every year to support this community where now young children get to eat every day, go to school and even to go college where they train in skills they bring back to their community. Who knew sharing one meal could lead to bringing comfort and joy to a whole community and beyond. Gratitude wants to give 🙏♥️

Staying still, hushed, tranquil listening to the birds allows life in this moment; the only moment there is and brings peace love and serenity. A chance to reflect with patience which brings Joy, absolute presence where my heart can dance and sing.
