  • 30 reusable water bottles
  • 33 pencil boxes
  • 37 scissors
  • 71 spiral notebooks
  • 126 glue sticks

  • 696 colored pencils
  • 1037 pencils

These supplies will go into backpacks that Hope for San Diego will distribute to children from low income families in the coming weeks.

     In reflecting on Tathagata’s Vow of Salvation
     It is to embrace the sentient beings in pain.
     Selfless giving is the ultimate concern,
     Whereby Great Compassion is fulfilled.

                                                       – Shinran
