International Buddhist College and Klintiendharm Foundation ('fragrant sandalwood') held a third Metta Free Clinic at IBC Korat Education Centre in Pak Thong Chai from 18 - 22 September. This follow-up clinic was held after the first and second clinic proved to be such a success which was held respectively in mid February and June. There were a total number of 621 patient visits over the five days of our community project. This time 375 new patients took the treatment.
