On April 13, at the warm invitation of members of the Spanish community in the Bronx, New York practitioners joined the opening ceremony and parade for the Spanish community's "Roberto Clemento Little League Opening Baseball Season"

Falun Gong practitioners have been invited to participate in many community activities. The soothing Dafa music, elegant Dafa exercises, kind Dafa practitioners and colorful banners and balloons have left deep impressions on the residents of the Spanish community. When organizers proposed inviting Falun Dafa at the committee meeting, committee members were very happy and passed the motion unanimously to issue an award to Falun Dafa.

It was a bright day. Practitioners dressed in yellow walked along with the parade procession. Spectators were deeply moved by the serene scene and many were happy to accept Falun Dafa flyers.

Officials from the US Congress, the City and the community were present at the opening ceremony. To show appreciation of the extraordinary contribution Falun Dafa has made to the community, the organizing committee issued a special appreciation letter to Falun Dafa and its founder Li Hongzhi. Practitioners thanked everyone for their support.
