At the Dhamma School, children learn the basics of the Buddha's teaching by reading Buddha's life stories, playing games, through narratives, or coloring, and they also receive an initial instruction for meditation. The venerable bhikkhunī Visuddhi therī focuses on the education of ethics, etiquette, and the development of good qualities of mind such as compassion, generosity, love, tolerance, etc. The Dhamma school is attended by both small and older children.

In the years of 2015 - 2016 Karuṇā Sevena and Suriya Lamai helped pregnant women, mothers with small and abandoned children that were fleeing from the war zones of Syria.
Basic items, such as food, water, medicines, hygienic items and clothing, for the value of 2.335,- EUR, were donated and distributed to those women and children in need. All our work is possible only thanks to the help of Czech volunteers who offer their support directly on the field at the borders with Hungary, Serbia, and Croatia. Volunteers were helping parents and children to reunite after their fleeting, while providing them with basic medical care. The pregnant women and mothers in their last stages of pregnancy were the group at higher risk. In order to support them, we established a help line operating 24/7 dedicated not only to pregnant women in need, but also to anyone who was in a life threatening situation. Herewith, we thank everyone who helped in this project.

Who are we? We are a small nonprofit organization that came into being in response to the refugee crisis and the negative attitude of a major part of the Czech public to refugees, with the intention to find effective ways of making refugees' lives more tolerable and easy. All the parents in refugee camps face difficult changes in emotions and behavior of their children. Therefore, we would like to provide them with professional, yet simple information about what they can do to help treat trauma in their children (and themselves).
We strongly believe that it is possible to help and so so we are tirelessly trying our best.
