Today is the last day of 2023, 4 Shin Shin
volunteers Katherine, Caltong, Dayu, and new volunteer Pingting and Katherine's brother Jason attended the last volunteer event of the year in Castro Valley Fa Yun Chan temple. The main activities were filling buckets with wood chips and laying wood chips to prevent weeds from growing. Shin Shin volunteers were all working diligently, the relay was arranged in an orderly and efficient manner with each volunteer taking care of one segment in the process, and the mountain was full of happiness and laughter. Caltong's mother also worked alongside the volunteers the whole time. Everyone praised the capable Shin Shin volunteers. After the volunteer activity, we also enjoyed a delicious vegan lunch. Thanks to the Shin Shin volunteers and the parents who took part in the activity today. On the occasion of bidding farewell to the old year and welcoming the new year, everyone volunteered together to welcome a better new year with labor and joy. May all the volunteers of Shin Shin and the children of Shin Shin School make all their wishes come true in the new year.
