Myanmar is facing an extreme, humanitarian crisis driven by political turmoil and systemic challenges. At the heart of this growing catastrophe is a food insecurity crisis.
On Saturday, October 26, 2024, BGR founder and chair Ven. Bhikkhu Bodhi hosted our annual Buddhist Action to Feed the Hungry online gathering, a beautiful celebration of all that we have accomplished together.
Please join Ven. Bhikkhu Bodhi and the global BGR community for our annual online gathering, to be held on Saturday, October 26 from 1 to 3 pm Eastern Time (10 am to 12 pm Pacific Time).
You, as a friend of BGR, are one of the reasons we can award grants each year to support child nutrition and education, teach community gardening (while providing seeds and tools), and empower marginalized women through vocational training in various marketable fields.
Children in Haiti face complex challenges stemming from economic, political, and climate-related factors. Grassroots organizations have been working to help children during this time of crisis. Through programs that meet the nutritional needs of children and help young people find their place in a changing country, these groups are working to build stronger communities and offer hope.
In a visit to Ecology Action's educational farm in Mendocino, California, BGR Board member Daniel Blake encountered a partnership of farmers and community leaders engaged in joyful collaboration as they shared sustainable agriculture strategies under the umbrella of the Grow Biointensive cultivation method.

Vesak, the full moon day in the month of May, is the day that celebrates the Buddha’s birth, enlightenment, and passing into nirvana. Vesak is a day of joy, of lights, color, and celebration, giving us the chance to fully honor the Enlightened One.
