The school provided a large area for practitioners to display picture boards illustrating the popularity of Falun Dafa around the world and the persecution of Falun Gong practitioners in China. Many teachers, students and parents stopped by to learn more about the facts and to inquire about how they could learn the exercises
Practitioners presented people with beautiful paper lotus flowers they had made themselves. Exuberant children came around to request the lotuses. The practitioners told them to remember that "Falun Dafa is good." The children smiled and nodded, and some called out loudly, "Falun Dafa is good." They took the materials home to show their parents. Everyone at the celebration was immersed in the peaceful and harmonious atmosphere.
