Christmas Gifts for Quake-Shaken Children By Athens News Group (Originally in Greek) After a 5.2-magnitude earthquake struck Αmfiklia, Greece and damaged 20 homes in a local village on December 13, 2008, Master kindly contributed US$5,000 to buy comforting Christmas gifts for the local children. At a local official’s recommendation, fellow initiates also gave 1,000 euros of the fund to two children who had just lost both of their parents in a car accident a few days before they arrived. These two children were of Albanian descent and are going to be raised by one of their uncles who will be responsible for seven children in total, including his own. The initiates were very happy to see that the local official was very attentive to the minority race. Being inspired by Master’s initiative, they promised to open a sealed bank account for the children in which the official is going to try his best to constantly put in more money given by any willing benefactors. The goal is not just for the material needs of these seven children, but also for their education so that they will have a bright future. The initiates thank Master for Her loving concern, and were overjoyed to see the happy response from the local people.
