Grandmaster Choa Kok Sui,
is the founder of Pranic Healing, world wide philanthropist and spiritual teacher. After visiting the United States in 2001 and witnessing the homeless situation in a major city, GMCKS purchased one hundred hamburgers and began handing them out with some of his students. Realizing that using our hands to serve others enriches both the giver and the reciever,he suggested that feeding programs should be established in metropolitan areas throughout the U.S.. Since then the initiative has grown into a service organization that helps the homeless secure housing, and pursue a better future for themselves and those they love.
