Love & Care Group, the charity arm of the BLIAWA, has its principle objective to benefit society through charity work and donations to the poor and needy. It hopes to bring the loving kindness and compassion of Buddha to people who are less fortunate than ourselves and help sow the seeds of Humanistic Buddhism.  All funds raised are utilized entirely to achieve these objectives.

Dear Friends

Entertainment Book 2011-2012
 
There have been an unprecedented spate of natural disasters of late such as the Queensland flooding, New Zealand and Japan earthquakes. The Love & Care Group has responded with fundraising efforts and subsequently made donations through BLIA headquarters to provide direct aid to the victims. Closer to home, we had the raging fire in the hills of Perth and again, we made a donation to the Lord Mayor’s Distress Relief Fund.
