" It is necessary to help others, not only in our prayers, but in our daily lives. If we find we cannot help others, the least we can do is to desist from harming them."
- His Holiness the Dalai Lama

Projects :: The Maitreya Foundation

Bonnie Cappuccino of Child Haven International visited the Maitreya Home recently and brings us some inspiring news.

The Maitreya Home has moved to a larger facility at a new location, and has welcomed seven more children, bringing the total to 17. The new children range in age from three to six years. Five of them have come all the way from Arunachal Pradesh, the extreme north-eastern province of India, and the other two are from Mysore state in South India. All are thriving, affectionate and happy.

OFT contributes $1,500 per year to the Maitreya Foundation.
