The community at KMC Brasil share the magic of working with their volunteers.
“At the Temple for World Peace in Brasil, we are very fortunate to share our lives with many who come to join us for varying lengths of time as volunteers and so forth. While they are with us we practice together, benefit others together, and most important, enjoy our precious human life in extremely meaningful ways.”
