Minghui Schools in New York and New Jersey gathered at Columbia University, New
York and held activities celebrating the New Year and clarifying the truth. Learning the song "Falun
Dafa is good." Greetings to Master Preparing truth-clarifying literature Reciting Master Li's Grand
Poem Since the establishment of the first Minghui School in Washington DC on
January 6, 2001, Minghui Schools have been set up in many cities worldwide, such
as Sydney and Melbourne, Australia; Toronto, Vancouver and Ottawa, Canada; many
cities in Taiwan; Thailand; Tokyo, Japan; Seoul, South Korea; New York City and
New Jersey, US. Minghui School teaches the principles of Falun Dafa, instructing the children
to behave according to Truthfulness, Compassion and Tolerance. In addition, it
offers classes on Chinese language, traditional culture etc. The students also
learn the simple and effective five-set Falun Gong exercises to be healthy both
physically and mentally. New York and New Jersey Minghui Schools jointly held summer camps twice this
year. Both parents and children had a very good response. The young
practitioners from different schools established friendships during the summer
camp. Upon the approach of New Year's Day, the two schools decided to hold a
joint activity celebrating the New Year and clarifying the truth. The children
wore colorful holiday clothing and greeted each other. Colorful ribbons in the
classroom and special treats filled the room with a holiday atmosphere. Teachers at the Minghui School said, "On this holiday season, we are
very concerned about the countless children and their parents in China who are
forced to leave home and are persecuted for practicing Falun Gong. The children
in Minghui Schools wish to join the truth clarification effort to let more
people know the facts of the persecution of Falun Gong in China." Under the
assistance of their teachers, the children prepared truth-clarifying literature
to be distributed to China. At the end of the activity, the children lined up outdoors on the campus of
Columbia University, pressed their hands together in front of their chests, and
expressed greetings to Master Li: "Happy New Year, Master!" Posting date: 12/29/2003
