Master has always been extremely concerned about disasters
that occur worldwide. Whenever receiving news about
disasters anywhere, She immediately renders relief
by providing financial assistance as well as dispatching
rescue teams to help in the affected areas. Through
such relief efforts, we are also conveying Master’s
love to the disaster victims. It is evident that Master’s
unconditional love, silent blessing and help have
reduced worldwide disasters and their affects to a
minimum. In recognition of the selfless actions of
all governments, organizations and relief workers
from every corner of the world, Master would like
to convey this message of gratitude:
“Thank you, all the
international help that brings care and necessities
to afflicted victims. Thank you all the relief workers
for taking time and forsaking your own comfort,
even traveling great distance on unfavorable roads
and conditions to bring love and assistance to people
in a time of need. May Heaven bless you abundantly
for your generosity and noble sacrifice.”

Master’s Love Comforts Pakistani
War and Flood Victims
Combined report by Indonesia, Formosa and
Singapore Relief Teams
(Originally in Indonesian, Chinese and English)
Loving Care for Displaced Citizens
of Mardan
In May 2009, the Noble Aims Welfare Association (NAWA),
a local NGO, asked Supreme Master Ching Hai to send urgent relief
for Pakistanis displaced by recent conflicts and flooding. Upon
receiving the request, Master was deeply concerned and contributed
US$70,000 to assist those in this desperate situation.
 A
team of our Association members from Formosa, Indonesia and
Singapore soon went to Pakistan to distribute relief supplies
and provide free medical care. On June 5, NAWA President Mr.
Ali Imran went with the team to the Mardan Refugee Camp, where
over a thousand families were in urgent need of help. The team
quickly bought food and daily living supplies and handed out
the materials along with SOS flyers to the refugees, who were
deeply grateful and highly attentive while reading the flyers.
>From July 18 to 21, our medical team treated large
numbers of sick children and other patients in a makeshift clinic
at the local school. During that time, another 1,024 relief
packs were also distributed. With God’s loving arrangement,
the relief team and Mr. Imran were able to visit other refugee
sites to provide medical treatment. The patients were profoundly
thankful to Master for Her much needed loving assistance.
Flood Relief Work in Karachi
Soon after the Mardan relief work, the worst flood
in 30 years struck the Karachi area and destroyed almost 80%
of the homes. Supreme Master Ching Hai quickly offered another
US$15,000 in monetary aid and our relief team flew to the city
on July 23 to work with the Pakistan Red Crescent Society and
the Sindh Provincial Secretary, Mr. Kanwar Waseem. The team
purchased the necessary supplies for the local villagers and
over the next few days handed out the goods, along with cash
for children who needed medical treatment, bringing a great
joy and relief to the victims. Mr. Kambar, after watching Supreme
Master TV, found its news and informational reports inspiring,
and was moved to inform the people about global warming and
how the crisis could be averted.
 On
September 3, Karachi was once again hit by heavy torrential
rains and floods, causing several casualties and bringing much
upheaval to the lives of thousands of people. Korangi Creek,
Rehri Goth and 17 villages located along Soneri Beach were among
the most affected areas. With infinite love and compassion,
Supreme Master Ching Hai immediately sent another US$20,000
in financial aid, and our onsite relief team quickly assembled
a group of workers to purchase and distribute the necessary
food and relief items along with SOS fliers to the people. Mr.
Z. A. Shah, Disaster Management Manager at the Pakistan Red
Crescent Society at Sindh Provincial Headquarters, introduced
Master to the villagers and thanked Her for Her immense benevolence.
The relief team members were most appreciative of
the chance to bring Master’s love and information on the
solution to global warming to the local people. May they soon
change to adopt a kinder, planet-saving lifestyle.
