Unite everyone’s strength together.” That will be phrase to describe the Family Day Festival that was held in Chicago on November 11th. Young Reiyukai members and their friends joined their talents and skills for the cause — a creation of a better society through a family improvement.
“Before I attended a Family Day event, my relationship with my parents was not as close as I wanted it to be. I did not converse with my parents or family as much. Then a friend of mine told me about this family event and I am so glad I went. Attending the event has reminded me that family is everything in our lives. It made me appreciate my parents more for all the things they have done for me. I feel that my relationship with my parents have gotten stronger” said Jason who was the MC for this years festival.
“I love the idea of Family Day Festival since it not only refers to family members that are living today, but also the ancestors who created us. What Reiyukai proposes is to have a place dedicated to our ancestors in each household. A special place to not to be only thankful for them, but also to feel the thoughts about them” said Mrs. Keiko Obara, Guest Speaker for the event.
