Clarifying the truth to visitors

The Falun Gong booth attracted many visitors. People listened to practitioners clarify the truth and learned how to make a paper lotus flower. Children especially loved the activity. Some people went away with the lotus flower they had made and then brought back friends and relatives to the Falun Gong booth.

A demonstration of the Falun Gong exercises also attracted many spectators. A reporter from the East Bridgewater Express interviewed a practitioner, learned the truth about the persecution of Falun Gong in China, and said they would follow up on Falun Gong.
