“One day Shori was walking in the countryside and saw a little lamb whose leg was caught in a fence. Shori gently removed the leg and put a bandage on it. Shori showed compassion to the lamb.” 

This was one of the stories about compassion told to youngsters at the West Berkshire Bahá’í Community children’s class recently.

After hearing tales and singing songs about the quality, the children – aged 8 to 11 – did drawings to illustrate what it means to them.

Class leader Myra Erbenova said: “When someone we know has a problem or is sad, we should do our best to be understanding and to help him or her.

“We must be compassionate and kind with everyone, under all conditions, like the tree that gives fruit to one and all, even to those who throw stones at it.”

Calling budding photographers . . . .

It’s time for all budding (or experienced) photographers to look at the world through their camera’s lens and send the results in to be published on the Thames Valley Baha’i Community website!

Thames Valley Baha’i Shawn Khorassani said: “Every time we post a photograph from within the Community, we experience a surge of interest and as a result more people are introduced to the Baha’i Faith and become interested in our activities.

“Photographs are a great way of keeping a website active and constantly changing, so we are asking all Baha’is to get their shutters (or indeed their digital cameras clicking) and send us in the results.”

The photographs should be taken of or at a Baha’i event and of or by someone within the Thames Valley Baha’i Community – please include basic details. You should have the permission of any person in your picture for it to be published. All contributions should be sent as attachments to susan@1bahai.org

Happy snapping!
