                   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.
