Since he and his wife Rose had been instrumental in developing our Compassionate Pomona Movement our mayor Tim Sandoval suggested that we honor him and his work at a special Compassionate Pomona meeting in City Council Chambers. That meeting took place Saturday, February 8. In our power-point presentation we showed many of the contributions of the Bui's and we highlighted many of our initiatives that they were especially involved in including our Monthly Values Projects, our International Summer School Compassion Course, our Compassion Quilt, and our Restorative Practice Initiative. The room was filled with the Bui Family from many parts of California, the Cao Dai Community (a religion started in Vietnam in the 1920's which is very much like Unity and honors all religions of the world), Interfaith friends, Compassionate Pomona friends, Unity friends and the Mayor and several City Council Members. After the family shared about Hum Bui, there was open mic time which the mayor and city council started with beautiful tributes.

During the month of March, the theme of Beit Sefer (TBI’s religious school) is "V'ahvta L'Reiacha Kamocha" or Love Your Neighbor as Yourself. In March we are welcoming the community to participate in our Purim Carnival where children are encouraged to invite their friends and family. We are also going to be encouraging participation in Mitzvah Day in which we are partnering with our Neighbors (the greater Claremont/Pomona community and local organizations) to participate in Mitzvah Projects. Additionally, the 4/5/6th grades will all be focusing on the idea of "Relying" on one another and how we can learn to be empathetic to one another. They will be engaging in text studies to discuss the importance of coming together, listening to each other, and recognizing how by opening ourselves up we can be an effective community/class. #compassionatepomona #valuespomona #kindnesspomona ...
