New Activities

2007 - 2008 New Additions

Metta Spectrum for 2007 - 2008 will try to have a wide range of activities. In addition to activities for supplying food, medicines, teaching aids, sports facilities, items for personal hygiene, etc., we aim to more effectively and efficiently assist the welfare programs.

These are our new additions:

* Developing Vegetable Gardens for self sufficiency of vegetables

This will bring plenty of fresh home grown vegetables to childrens' dining table. Fresh, tasty and nutritious meals are essential for childrens' healthy growth. Now we are trying to raise the awareness of the significance of taking fresh vegetables for nutrition and most importantly how vegetable gardens can make substantial contribution to our purpose which is healthy growth of our children.

* Setting up Libraries for developing bala ngadan.

By investing in libraries, we will try to nourish the talents of our children. Metta Spectrum is now (for 2007 - 2008) setting up libraries at various places with books specially selected for the development of bala ngadan, five strengths (strength of the body, strength of wisdom, strength of character, strength of wealth, strength of friends).

We are trying our best to get good books: special care is being taken in selecting books. A big portion of your donated money for this year goes for setting up libraries. We intend to set up about 20 + libraries during this year. We need good books for the growing and curious minds. Well selected books will help our children to help themselves. If you have good books (English/Myanmar) that can help build bala ngadan, please kindly give them to Metta Spectrum.

* Relief and rehabilitation for cyclone victims

We are unable to describe our deep sadness in words for what has happened in our country due to Cyclone Nargis. We will attend to this urgent call as best as we can since rehabilitation of the disaster victims requires efforts from all of us.
