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.
