Greece

Carrying Supreme Master Ching Hai’s loving concern, our Bulgarian Association members formed a relief team and travelled to Pendeli in the Athenian Mountains of Greece to render aid after fires had devastated local townships in August 2009. Upon arrival, they found that although 17 districts around Mount Pendeli had been affected, the fire had damaged homes only in the towns of Pendeli, Rodopoli and Stamata.

On September 25, with the help from an assistant to Pendeli’s Mayor Dimitrios Stergiou-Kapsalis, the team used Master’s US$15,000 loving contribution to purchase and deliver food and supplies to the needy along with Alternative Living and SOS flyers. For some, this was the first aid they received since the fire and they were so thankful to Master for Her care and love that they wept tears of joy. While expressing their gratitude, many said they would write messages on Supreme Master TV’s website to thank Master for Her loving help, as well as inform local newspapers about Master, Her Association and their work in the region.
 

Touched by Master’s benevolence, the Mayor of Pendeli, Mr. Stergiou-Kapsalis, gave Master his Association’s emblem and a letter of appreciation.

Gift of Love to the Bereaved

In November 2009, incessant rains caused creeks and rivers to overflow across northern Greece. During the flooding, firefighters rescued many residents stranded in their cars or homes. The raging waters also severely damaged roads, buildings and crops, but disaster relief personnel were able to help those affected, thus easing the situation.

Supreme Master Ching Hai asked our local initiates to lend assistance to those in need and convey Her love. The team then found Mrs. Paraskevi Tsopanoglou who had lost her husband in the disaster. They offered her Master’s heartfelt concern for her loss as well as a gift of €1,010 which was delivered on Christmas Day along with Alternative Living and SOS flyers and a sample booklet. Mrs. Tsopanoglou was deeply touched to receive Master’s love and thoughtfulness in her family’s time of need.

We pray that the vegan diet will be adopted worldwide so as to end such climate-change-induced tragedies, and bring peace and harmony to our planet.
