Dear all Centre Coordinators,

Thank you for trialling this initiative ...

We hope you will be inspired to integrate at least

one Eco program per month into your schedules
to support the BK Environment Initiative so others learn about and
feel inspired to love, care and respect the Plant and Animal Kingdoms,
fellow Human Beings and the Elements - thereby creating 
Golden Aged vibrations and sanskaras which in turn will create the Age itself.

A calendar of upcoming United Nations Days are listed below with some suggested topics & links to resources where possible. 

Programs can be activities like talks, workshops, meditations and/or mention of UN Days in your newsletters/murli classes & other regular programs.

They can be held around the specified dates - not necessarily
on the dates shown.

Your feedback is welcome.

many thanks again,
The Environment SIG
