As the moreEC campaign kicked off in the whole world, the Europe Center itself wasn’t sleeping either. One of the first fundraising events was our Pub Quiz arranged according to the tradition of Dutch and English bars to challenge the brains of customers not only with the amount of beer they can drink but also with some intellectual contest. And guess what – the Dutch team beat all the competitors!

We also organized the movie – popcorn night and were lucky to be joined by Lama. The artistic Austrian sangha took over for a weekend night and transformed the villa into Casino Royale where the local creme-de-la-creme gambled for the benefit of moreEC (see blog post from a few weeks ago). The next day the parents could enjoy a long meditation session on moreEC family Sunday where child care was provided for a donation to the project. And last but not the least – an event followed by huge success – moreEC Karaoke Night, where one could pay for someone to sing…or for them to stop singing in some cases:).

And of course individual people have also been giving their best. During the campaign, the EC team members have generously offered their qualities and skills for the benefit of moreEC and all beings. One could enjoy a Thai massage, get a business card designed, get a Tibetan medicine consultation, your plumbing fixed, get your kids to learn English or Polish, or change to winter tires (a question of life and death in Allgau) for a donation to moreEC. The EC kitchen was used many times for making apple jelly and pear compote, cookies or even catering for events! Have your eyes and mouths open at the upcoming events where you can still get some for yourselves and at the same time support moreEC.

We want to thank all our friends who support us in so many different ways! karmapa chenno :-)
