It’s that time of year again when we are able to do a full day of meditation practice in three yards at Donovan Penitentiary.  We are offering meditation in 3 of the 5 facilities at Donovan twice a month.  In the Spring we will also celebrate Buddha’s Birthday in each facility with a day of practice and a special meal. This is a wonderful opportunity for the men incarcerated at Donovan to have a full day of practice and it is also a great treat for them to get a catered meal. 

The meal of Thai vegetarian food is prepared for us at a discount so meals for 40 people costs $400.  The birthday cake is donated as is all of the time that the volunteers give.  We will need about $2000 to cover the cost of the meals as well as the incidentals such as coffee service, paper plates etc.

	PLEASE HELP by donating as much as you can to cover these costs.  We are so appreciative of all the support that has kept us going for almost ten years now. You can send a check to: Prison Meditation Project 2727 Highland Avenue National City, CA 91950 Checks are made out to Prison Meditation Project and are tax deductible since we are part of a 510(c)(3) non-profit corporation. You can also donate through PayPal http://www.prisonmeditation.org/Donate.htm
