Holiday food distributions in Somogy County
Az Ételt az Életért Alapítvány, a Krisna-tudatú hívők humanitárius programjának dolgozói elkötelezték magukat amellett, hogy mindig segítsék a rászoruló lakosságot. Mottójuk, hogy a Krisna templomok 10 km-es körzetében ne legyen éhező ember. A Krisna-hívők számára ezért is annyira fontos, hogy a főváros és más nagyvárosok mellett a somogyi régióban, Krisna-völgy szomszédságában is odafigyeljenek elesett embertársaikra. […]

The Christmas Feast of Love is a nationwide series of events, including Debrecen, Eger, Somogy […]
