The renowned Dragon Boat Festival, also known as Tuen Ng, falls on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month in China.  It commemorates the death of Qu Yuan, a Chinese poet and minister known for his patriotism and contributions to classical poetry and who eventually became a national hero.  Our staff recently hosted a lively activity to commemorate this holiday! **Dear friend, please know your generous support makes life-giving events like this possible!
