We want to thank you for coming together in this time of crisis and to take part in this wave of compassion for the victims of this horrible disaster brought forth by mother nature. Hurricane Katrina has taken lives, displaced survivors and destroyed the livelihoods of so many people. It has no doubt impacted our nation economically. But at a lesser extent, it impacted those other nations as well that count on America's generosity.

We need to do what we can locally and take part with other millions all over the country and all over the world in helping to raise resources to help the victims to rebuild their lives.

The "Wave of Compassion" for Victims of Hurricane Katrina has already started in our community, and it will continue for many days and months to come. During this past 3-day weekend, our small community has collected $500 at the San Jose temple. The San Jose Cambodian Buddhist Society has donated an additional $1,500.

We will give a check in the amount of $2,000 to the local American Red Cross. we hope to add on to this amount as we continue to collect donations. We also plan to establish a collection target for our community to reach and hopefully to surpass.

Let's ride the Wave of Compassion!
Let's exercise the kinder side of our heart!
Let's reciprocate the kindness!
Let's dig deeper!
