An annual event, children, and a drive for World Peace. Inspiration comes in many forms.
On Saturday 24th May 2015, one million kids from 7,000 schools throughout Thailand and also from other countries came to Wat Phra Dhammakaya Temple in Thailand to be a part of the “7th V-Star Change the World” project. These kids are called ‘V-Stars’. V-Star stands for virtuous stars. They are youth moral leaders in their schools and community. The V-Star project of the world morality restoration project has been organized in the year 2008, making 2015 the 7th time this project has taken place. The “V-Star Change the World” project as part of the World Morality Revival project was initiated by Luang Phor Dhammachayo, the abbot of Wat Phra Dhammakaya Buddhist Temple. The purpose of this event is for virtuous stars from all over Thailand and also different country to come together to be moral support for one another. They are able to come together to meet and share their experiences of doing good deeds daily.
The children are our future and as a parent it is our duty to raise our children to the best of our abilities, but always with the right values and morals, no matter what the circumstances.
