Baci Ceremony: Blessing For the New Year

January 18, 2019 Leave a Comment

This week in collaboration with Wat Lao Boubpharam, we hosted a traditional Lao Baci Ceremony. This event was organized as a send off for our 16 volleyball players and coaches from Vietnam and Laos who spent the past week in San Diego on a US Department of State sponsored sports diplomacy initiative. SDDC members and supporters filled the temple to bless our new friends on their journey home through this meaningful ceremony of renewal and peace.
