(Clearwisdom.net) From November 3 to 7, 2010, the 23rd Children's Health Expo was held at the Russian Exhibition Center in Moscow. Local Falun Dafa practitioners participated in the event. The Falun Dafa booth was decorated with many pictures, displaying how Falun Dafa has been embraced in over one hundred countries, with over 100 million practitioners worldwide. The local Falun Dafa Association participates in the event twice a year. The organizers for the Children's Health Expo said that many exhibitors at the expo just wanted to sell their products and some even displayed items could have a bad effect on children. One of the organizers remarked that the Falun Dafa Association has no religious affiliations, nor does it have any political or commercial goals, as it is a genuine and noble exercise that benefits both children and their parents. The organizers were very impressed, and gave the Falun Dafa Association a very low price for the booth rental.

The practitioners performed the "Lotus flower dance," gave performances of song and demonstrated the Falun Gong exercise on the main stage every day. A large screen TV at the booth played the exercise teaching video by Master Li. The practitioners also passed out many exercise DVDs, truth-clarification DVDs, calendars and introductory materials about Falun Dafa. Many people learned the exercises during the expo. A large number of children came to the booth to learn how to make folded paper lotus flowers. The lotus flower workshops were the most attended activity at the expo.
Each day, more and more people came to the Falun Dafa booth. Many children and their mothers stayed at the booth until the expo was about to close.
At the same time as the Children's Health Expo, there was another health expo taking place in another hall inside the Russian Exhibition Hall. Practitioners introduced Falun Dafa there and received a warm welcome at this expo as well.
