Being a facilitator to children so that they can learn Dhamma is certainly a most fulfilling role.

From 11 to 13 November, 18 Dhamma School facilitators rejuvenated in their training and retreat themed ‘Refresh and Recharge’.  Guided by the School Director, Sis. See Hui Shien, they enhanced their skills and teaching approach as part of their preparations for the new 2024 school year.

Supporting each other in a variety of learning sessions spanning Pali chanting, brainstorming, service and even an ‘ExploreRace’, the facilitators have not just gained more confidence in the year ahead but also grew to understand how they can be a better ‘kalyana mitta’ to one another.

We take this opportunity to express our gratitude to all our Dhamma School facilitators who have dedicated much of their time for the selfless service of propagating the Buddha’s teachings to children and teenagers.  May your dedication and compassionate actions be supportive conditions for your own spiritual journey.  Sadhu anumodana.
