joint celebration.

I'm sorry that I have to steal some moments here to make some announcements. (Sorry for not asking permission. Hope you guys don't mind :/)

Okay so guys and girls, a teacher from class Revata (12 years old) have suggested to have a joint CNY celebration party with our class, Moggallana. The purpose to have this party is to teach them about Dana as Dana is not only about offering to the monks but is also about caring & sharing that can be apply in our daily life. (EDITED : SRY GUYS! I GOT THE CONCEPT WRONGLY, THE MAIN PURPOSE IS TO PRACTICE SHARING AND CARING. :D)

So, we encourage you to bring some food (party pack preferably. eg : mammee monsters etc.) and organize some activities for the kids. (:

It is going to be a short one as it is gonna last around
1 hour - 1 1/2 hour only. It is going to be held during the next class which is on the 8th of February.

To make things easier, I hope some of you will volunteer yourself to be incharge of food or programmes and preferably a leader for this activity to make sure everything goes well. Feel free to drop any suggestions that can make things more interesting. (eg : making CNY cards for them etc.)

PLEASE LEAVE THE COMMENT(S) BELOW THIS POST ANYTHING REGARDING ABOUT THIS ACTIVITY FOR CONVENIENCES (DO IDENTIFY YOURSELF. tq.).
by the way, KEEP THIS A SURPRISE FROM THE REVATA CLASS STUDENTS AND SPREAD THE WORD AMONG OUR CLASSMATES. Thanks. ;)

p.s : I hope you guys agree about this activity as both sides can gain experiences and do dana at the same time. I put up a poll at the sidebar (>>>>) to see whether you guys agree with this activity or not. (: If you do not agree, also leave a comment below and state your point of view of why you don't agree. Thanks. :D

HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR
&
HAPPY HOLIDAYS. :D

With Metta,
Yan Leng.

  3. Wonderful idea. Just a note though. Don't go overboard with the food/snacks. If you give dana to monks, u don't sit down with them and wallop the food together. :) Sharing and indulging in each others food is a potluck party. Not dana. Dana is to give. Preferably give something the other party don't have or find it hard to get. Just celebrate and enjoy.

  8. hey boss,

    i just need to understand .. um why avoid angpau package? cause it's cny and we should at least make the gift meaningful and related kann kann.

    that's the point of us using angpow, but maybe you have your point too. okay, i'll wait for your reply.

    ;D
