Walk to Feed the Hungry
Join Buddhist Global Relief in a Walk of Compassion!
We’re living at a transformative moment of history when humanity is faced with a critical choice: either we continue to flow with the currents of greed and ignorance and risk devastating the earth, or we adopt a scheme of values that gives pride of place to compassion, care, and social justice.
