Madagascar Struck by Third Cyclone of 2009
By Johannesburg Relief Team (Originally in English)

After cyclone Jade wreaked havoc on the northeast coast of Madagascar, our Association members from Johannesburg formed a relief team and brought Supreme Master Ching Hai’s love and financial aid to the port city of Toamasina on April 20, 2009. Jade was the third cyclone to strike Madagascar this year, and approximately eight people lost their lives. When the team arrived, the flooding produced by the storm had largely subsided, but around 232 local people were still in need of assistance. The team members distributed mosquito nets, repellent and rice along with SOS flyers to inform everyone how they could help stop such disasters in the future.
