Korea

In July 2009, severe flooding and landslides in South Korea claimed the lives of 11 people and destroyed many homes. In response, on July 21, along with Supreme Master Ching Hai’s US$10,000 in financial aid, a relief team made up of our local Association members visited the devastated areas to assist the victims. On Master’s behalf, the team contributed US$800 to each bereaved family for the purchase of daily necessities and US$1,600 to help in rebuilding their houses, supplementing the funds already provided by the government. The relief team also lent a hand with the clean-up work.

On July 31, the team revisited the affected areas to deliver more aid to those in need. All the recipients expressed deep gratitude to Master and regained their cheerful spirit. We thank God for being able to bring relief to others, and we pray for those affected that they may soon return to lives of comfort and security.

Thank you letter from the Head of Saha-gu District, Busan Metropolitan City
