Where your donations to the Trust go:
Your donations help current members of the School
Your donation will help the Forest Rock Taiji and Qigong School purchase and own a place where its members and new students can come to learn, study and practise the classical art of Taiji Quan. You will help to create in this centre a place to learn the healing practice of Qigong, and a place to study and appreciate the unique Taiji Monastery Philosophy. Your contribution will help to preserve the teachings and wisdom of the Forest Rock Monastery School for all times.
Your donations help The Elderly
Part of your donation goes towards supporting all the members of the ‘Taiji for the elderly’ classes, run weekly on the North Shore in Auckland. Our senior teachers and senior students, instruct these classes to help the elderly with fall prevention and mobility. Some have testified that Taiji has helped much more than just their balance and movement; it has also helped with all kinds of ailments, such as reducing cholesterol levels, reducing their heart medication and alleviated the need for sleeping pills. These classes have given some of the people a new lease of life and a sense of a new community.
Your donations helps Families, Parents, Children and Youth with behavioural difficulties and mental disabilities
The trust supports various groups that work with families, parents, children and youth in the community, such as:
The Trust does not support all these groups financially but does support their incredible effort in the Community helping families and children.
Your donations help underprivileged children
One of the groups that your donations will help is a Charitable Trust called ‘Kids Can’.
This Trust supports the basic physical needs of financially disadvantage children. The Official Patrons of the Trust are two All Blacks, Doug Howlett and Ali Williams.
This organization feeds and clothes children in dire financial hardship in New Zealand.
‘Kids Can Charitable Trust’ is a national charity dedicated to levelling the playing field for New Zealand children living in poverty.
Each year it makes a tangible difference to more than sixteen thousand children through a number of different programs, including raincoats for kids, food for kids and shoes for kids.
- ‘Kids Can’ provides more than eight thousand free raincoats to children from low income families.
- The Kids can ‘food for kids’ programme provides free food at school for more than six thousand financially disadvantaged children a week.
- ‘Shoes for kids’ is a programme that provides free quality footwear and socks for children who consistently come to school in winter without shoes and socks. So far, more than two thousand pairs of shoes have been given to children throughout New Zealand.
This is an innovative and creative group serving children that have a desperate need for help in New Zealand.
Your donations will help sponsor starving and homeless children overseas
Through your donations, you will help children that Forest Rock has been sponsoring for over ten years through World Vision and The Child Fund. These two organisations support the under privileged children of the world. We currently support children in Uganda, Rwanda, Thailand and Argentina.
During our time of sponsorship for these children, there have been schools built, water tanks erected, live stock purchased and whole villages have become self sufficient.
In the present economic times, these children are in desperate circumstances and need our help more than ever.
How you can help
- Be a part of our movement to support the people and children who are less fortunate than ourselves.
- Do not miss this opportunity to help. Children need our help daily, in fact right this minute.
You might not be able to help by donating your time, but you can help by financially supporting the Forest Rock Taiji and Qigong MonasterySchool Charitable Trust.
Make a difference in someone’s life today and I know it will make a difference in yours.
Wake up every morning and know you are making a change in the lives of those human beings less fortunate than yourself in the world.
