And the show began...
Let me explain about ACC ( Amitofo Care Centre ):
Background:
The Republic of Malawi is located in south eastern Africa. It is a highland country of mountains and lakes with an area of 118,500 km. About three quarters of the country is 1000-1500 km above sea level. It has equatorial climate. Most of the time, the weather is warm and comfortable. It is relatively politically stable than its neighbouring countries. However, it is among the world's least developed countries. It per capita GDP is USD$184. Lacking hygienic environment and education publication, diseases such as dengue, cholera, AIDS are common and the average life span of the people is 37 years.

Due to the contagious diseases, millions of children have become orphans as a result of their parents' demise. Poverty also leads to the low literacy rate of 42%, one of the lowest among the African countries. Presently, education, deseases and orphans areserious societal problems of the country.

Preamble:
Venerable Hui Li, better known as "The African Monk", started his journey of Dharma propagation in Africa since 1992. He set up Amitofo Care Centre("ACC") in view of locals' vital needs of Buddhism. With the objective to develop Buddhism in Africa and to propagate Chinese Buddhism, he has vowed to be buried in Africa and to be reborn as Africans for five life-times, with the propagation plan of 300 years.

For a population of 11 millionm, there are 1.1 million orphans and 440,000 AIDS patients. Hence, ACC focuses on sponsoring the orphans, caring for the AIDS patients, providing school education, Dharma education, charity assistance, and culture excahnge etc to carry out the Buddhist missions.

Education is one of the long term projects with great responsibility. May all people of the ten directions come together to extend our compassion, resolve in action and rejoice in the merits of giving, to support the living and education opportunities for the Africans! Let's be part of the history and witness the Buddhist development in Africa!
