"Bodhicitta Charity" - Sow love, reap peace

BAC NINH - Without noise or fanfare, members of the group "Bodhi Heart Charity" still regularly cook porridge, collect gifts, and bring love to the needy. Their joy is simple, which is to do many good deeds for the community.

Originating from a heart of kindness, wanting to share with those in difficult lives, in 2017, the group "Bodhi Mind Charity" was established with 5 members, led by Ms. Nguyen Thi Ngoc Linh ( Bac Giang ward) who is a freelancer. Up to now, the group has gathered nearly 90 members with many backgrounds and professions.

The "Bodhi Heart Volunteer" group cooks free porridge to serve patients at Bac Ninh General Hospital No. 1.

Without a fixed source of funding, the group's operating costs are mainly raised by voluntary contributions from each member and the support of "donors". On weekends, the image of "Bodhi Mind Charity" members busily preparing pots of porridge and hot lunch boxes to bring to poor patients in hospitals has become familiar. Each session, about 500-600 free meals are handed to patients to help them ease their difficulties.

Ms. Nguyen Thi Hoa, Son Dong commune confided: "My husband was sick and had to be treated in the hospital for many years, the family's finances were very difficult. Receiving free porridge from the volunteer group, we felt warm-hearted."

In particular, the recent storm No. 11 caused heavy damage to many localities in the province, the group quickly called on benefactors to join hands to support. In just a few days, the group called for cash support, 2,200 kg of rice and many types of food, water, clothes, medicine, household items..., worth about 500 million VND, organized many trucks to transport relief goods to the hands of people in the damaged areas.

Regardless of the sun, rain, or long distance, the members take turns loading, transporting, and delivering gifts. Each porridge portion, each gift, each relief truck is a seed of goodness sown in the land of life. From those kind hearts, humanity spreads, making life warmer and more meaningful.
