Nanhua Temple organized another Children's Camp on the 5th July 2011, for children 6 -13 years of age coming from Chinese & Western families, and from all parts of South Africa. All of the children told us they were very excited for weeks ahead to come and participate in this event.
On the first day the children were introduced to each other in an 「ice-breaking」 session, in order to get to know each other better and to build teamwork. Ven Yung Hsin taught the children about Buddhist conduct, to help them to understand the camp and temple rules & regulations.

Nan Hua Temple』s annual Youth Camp from 30-06 to 03-07, had youths from allover the country attending, members numbered to the 40』s. At the opening ceremony Master Hui Xing had this to say 「Life is all about choices, I hope you will all study hard and cherish every moment of choice that you are presented.

The song of Fo Guang Shan opened the 4 day Youth Art Camp, which was held from 12 to15 July 2010. More than 50 young adults from Johannesburg,Pretoria,Bloemfontein, Durban and Newcastle attended. In the opening ceremony, Mr Hu,(the representative of the Taiwanese Government here in SA), expressed his good wishes for the success of the camp. The participants were encouraged to be grateful and to make the most of this opportunity, as they were fortunate enough to have 2 teachers from Taiwan, who would be sharing their knowledge of Chinese folk customs and skills.

On the 17th of June, nearly 50 children from all over South Africa came to attend the children’s happy talent camp at Nan Hua Temple. The atmosphere was excited and busy with Ven. Hui Fang’s encouragement. Included with the attendants were two volunteer brothers from Taiwan, Xu Hong Kuan and Lin Ji Ping from Nan HuaUniversity and Wu Fong colleges, who had come to assist with teaching the children. 
The course that had been prepared for the children included teaching folk customs, skills involved in molding noodles to look like lions and birds and hanging mobiles of cloth babies. The Buddha’s Light youth volunteers (BLIA) taught the children what they had learnt in their previous youth camps about folk dances and elder brother Xu Hong Kuan used the skills he learnt while in Beijing to give the children a more advanced class. His brother also taught the children group dances, encouraging the children to socially interact with each other and be friends. All of which they thoroughly enjoyed.
