Pride ISM Excursion

Yesterday, we took ten secondary 3 students to the monastery. I wasn't sure how the day would go but it all went brilliantly, mostly due to the fact that the monks are so brilliant. The students were asking me before we even left when we would come back again. They want to come along to the next trip, which is planned for after the school holidays for just the secondary 1 and 2 students. The teachers appreciated the day too, and told me that these particular students don't get as much guidance in Buddhism from their parents as other local students, are their lifestyles are different, and their parents, in high-profile jobs, often don't have the time to do so.
