Now that we have moved into our new building, have residential rooms and opened our World Peace Cafe we need to take Vajrapani Centre into the next phase of it's development. We still have many tasks to do such as refurbishing both of our kitchens, providing hot water into our bathroom and even making a new sign for outside our Centre.

Moving Vajrapani Centre forward is now one of our main focuses, and the motivation behind the fundraising campaign Keep On Moving. Over 2008 a number of activities will be taking place at Vajrapani Centre, and individuals are challenging themselve to gain sponsershop to help raise funds. The list of activities is increasing as more people become aware of the campaign, and we will update this page reguarly with news. You can follow our progress at the Centre Gallery, or by signing up to our email Newsflashes (see subscription area on main page).
