Australian Fires 2019-2020 – Quaama

AFTER THE FIRES – SUPPORTING LOCAL COMMUNITIES
​February 2020

​Drogmi Buddhist Institute sangha offered an evening meal at Quaama for the fourth week, a beautiful community 20 minutes’ drive south of Tilba that was devastatingly affected by fires at New Year. There are signs of great recovery in the community, yet challenging times ahead as many are still living in tents and vans.

​The community say they really look forward to Karma la’s delicious and nutritious food and visits by our sangha. We also enjoy connecting with new friends each week. Around 100 people attended for the meal this Sunday 9 February, with a special addition of momos added to the menu which were all eaten up.

We have warmly invited the Quaama community to the Centre to enjoy Losar celebrations on 23 February.

​A special big thank you to Karma la – you are an inspiration to us all.
