Venerable Hui Fang, (Abbot of Nan Hua Temple) in his donation address, explained the objectives of BLIA and expressed his wish that all those who received the wheelchairs used them properly. He added that BLIA is willing in the future to serve many people.
Seleso Village Chief gave the BLIA members a warm welcome and thanked them for bringing these wheelchairs from so far away.
Mrs. Mary, who spoke on behalf of St. Angela Cheshire, said that this donation was a very benevolent act, adding that the pious gratitude in their minds was not something that one can explain using words. The donation of these wheelchairs to the center would assist many disabled people who are unable to afford them.
Lastly, a Member of the Lesotho Parliament, Mr. Mokhanoi, thanked BLIA for their great support of the public. He was very touched to see the love of Buddhism in action without boundaries, which spread to all impoverished countries so that they might also receive compassion and love.
