Master Provides Moroccan Children
Wintertime Relief
 By Paris Relief Team
(Originally in French)
The winter of 2009 has been especially harsh in the
middle Atlas Mountain region of Morocco. Upon hearing of the
residents’ hardship, Supreme Master Ching Hai contributed
funds for the purchase of jackets, caps, and gloves to protect
the children from the cold, along with basketballs for them
to play with and sweets to uplift their spirits.
In October, some of our Association members from Paris,
France, distributed the items at schools throughout the area.
The local director of education thanked Supreme Master Ching Hai
for Her generosity, wishing Her good health and a long life. The
remaining relief supplies were delivered to the children in Douar
Chaouia Village in the Ghrab region, where recent flooding had
caused considerable damage. The youngsters gratefully received
the gifts and thanked Master for Her help.
Bringing Comfort to the Flood-Afflicted
Families
On February 20, 2010, two of our Association members
from the Paris Center, on behalf of Supreme Master Ching Hai,
flew to Morocco to bring aid and comfort to afflicted families
of a torrential rain. Dozens of people lost their lives across
the country and 300 houses were destroyed. Some residents even
had to go into the forest to find shelter and a place to sleep.
Our fellow initiates were welcomed by a hospitable,
vegetarian Moroccan family, who helped them communicate with the
local people in a more efficient way. As soon as the team was
able to find a car, they went to visit those in dire need to hand
out cash envelopes that would help them to repair their houses
or purchase necessities like clothes and blankets, as well as
offer some loving words of encouragement to them. Overall, sixty
envelopes (approx. US$4,300) were distributed. Master’s
gifts were received with great joy and sincere thanks by all the
recipients. One man commented, “If everyone was as generous
as your Master, the world would become a paradise.”
