Providing Generous and Timely Support to the Needy
By Mongolia News Group (Originally in Mongolian)
 In
July 2009 Mongolian national and local emergency groups worked
around the clock to help victims of flooding caused by heavy
rains in several areas of Ulaanbaatar and Gobi-Altai Province.
The Bayanzurkh District in Ulaanbaatar was the most heavily
affected and Khan-Uul and Songino Khairkhan Districts were also
severely damaged. Altogether approximately 1,110 families were
impacted by the disaster, with 157 becoming homeless and around
26 people losing their lives.
Upon hearing of the devastation Supreme Master Ching
Hai contributed US$20,000 in funds and asked local Association
members to help in the relief effort. The initiates then formed
two teams and distributed food and relief materials. Also, 657
children were given school supplies. After receiving the items,
many people sent Master letters expressing their immense gratitude
to Her for helping them so generously when many had lost all
their possessions.
On August 11, 2009, Minister D. Nyamkhuu from the Ministry
of Mongolian Social Welfare and Labour sent Master a letter to
convey his deep appreciation “for all the financial and
material contributions to the people of Mongolia in time of need.”
