“No one is useless in this world who lightens the burden of another.”
Colleagues from the Asian Trails Vientiane office have certainly proved the truth of this saying.In Asia, making merit is a part of life. And in Laos, this includes listening to the needs of the less fortunate, or those representing the teachings of the Lord Buddha.
As part of a CSR initiative, volunteers from our office purchased cleaning and construction material for a small temple in the hometown of one of our Asian Trails Laos’ family members. This was complemented with a good amount of food to donate to the residing monks. The team assisted with cleaning up the temple and its surroundings before donating the acquired material.
Taking their well-earned blessings back to Vientiane, there is very little needed to showcase our ESTEEM principle to those in need. From the feedback after this half-day out and about, all our colleagues in Laos are eager to share their kindness soon again. What a wonderful thing to do!
