Representatives from
the Supreme Master Ching Hai International Association
Pay a
Visit
to the After-care Association
{By
Journalist Thaishan Leu} To show love for society and to care for parolees
who have been released from prison but have found difficulties in making
a living, the Supreme Master Ching Hai International Association in Hualien,
Formosa, contributed clothes to parolees housed by the Training School
of Hualien After-Care Association. It brought warmth to these forgotten
people who had made mistakes and paid the price before but had now repented.
Yesterday morning, accompanied
by Mr. Songmao Zhong, Director of the After-care Association in Hualien,
representatives of the Supreme Master Ching Hai International Association
visited a training school of the Renewed-Life Parolees Society on Fu-Shing
Street in Hualien. They asked about each of the six parolees' health and
welfare, and presented them with clothes, quilts and other necessities,
which conveyed love from the Supreme Master Ching Hai International Association.
Mr.
Songmao Zhong stated that the majority of parolees currently in the training
school are middle-aged or older. They have no one to rely on or are rejected
by their family because of their previous misdeeds. Though the fund has
enough money to feed and house these parolees, anything more than that
relies upon help from society.
The After-Care Association
hopes that people from all circles will give the parolees a hand and accept
them with open hearts, giving them a chance to renew their lives.
