Relief Team Brings Master’s Aid to Thousands
By Burkina Faso News Group (Originally in English)
On September 19, 2009, Association members in Burkina
Faso, West Africa, received financial aid from Supreme Master
Ching Hai to purchase necessary items for the affected people
of recent flooding in their country. The floods were caused by
the area’s heaviest rains in 90 years, and resulted in loss
of lives and damage to infrastructures as well as approximately
24,000 homes.
Our Association members immediately formed a relief
team, contacted local officials, bought the most urgent relief
supplies, and distributed them at Samora Marcel School three
days later. Mr. Yacouba Pafadnam, President of the Relief Management
Committee, graciously thanked them and expressed sincere gratitude
to Master for Her compassion and generous help.
Following that, the team delivered supplies to Saint
Michael School and Sacred Heart School in Dapoya, where the ladies
showed deep gratitude, especially for the clothing, as many had
lost all their possessions to the floods. Ms. Djènéba Maïga, representing
the women, thanked Master for Her noble gesture and sent Her wishes
of good health, longevity and success in Her work.
