Jain Center of Greater Charlotte – Pathshala Announcement

Learning about Jainism is very important for our kids, especially when growing up in a western culture as compared to India. The connection kids develop at younger age to Jinalay, Pathshala can help mold their future life, beliefs and paths they choose. Attending Pathshala can give them knowledge of Jainism.
Needless to say, we need to prepare our next generation to learn Jainism practices, understand beliefs and be able to pass the knowledge to future generations. This is only possible by our own effort to encourage, enforce and sometimes incentivize them to come to Pathshala to learn about our basic fundamentals. With our combined commitment and drive, we can ensure success of our kids.

Based on feedback collected, we are sharing the following information.
1.       Overview of our program (class information, expected attendance, activities around pathshala education like labs and extra effort towards Jinalay) has been attached to this email.
