On January 30, our relief team reached the affected area to assess the situation. As the government had already launched extensive relief services, we therefore provided aid only to destitute people who were more seriously affected. We bought the much-needed coal, flour and sleeping bags for 13 households, to whom we also presented some relief funds. We distributed the SOS flyers to the villagers and left some more for them to disseminate the message in the region. The villagers were extremely touched to find strangers extending concern and help when they most needed it. Creating a Paradise on Earth with Love
By a fellow initiate in Shanghai (Originally in Chinese)
Madam Shen was deeply touched by Supreme Master Ching Hai’s
compassion, generosity and selfless spirit of sacrifice. She promised
to visit the children in Sichuan as soon as possible during the Lunar
New Year holidays and bring the funds to the schools there. She would
tell the children how very much Master loves and cares about them,
while many anonymous philanthropists are also concerned about their
compatriots in the disaster area. She hoped that this would encourage
everyone to be more optimistic and cheerful, and have greater confidence
in rebuilding their homes.
