Master’s Aid Raises Spirits By Australian Relief Team (Originally in English) On December 13, 2009, Cyclone Mick devastated the island nation of Fiji, first affecting the low-lying Yasawa Islands, where 90-mph winds destroyed many homes, and then striking the north shore of the island of Viti Levu, where heavy rains caused flooding. Nearly 4,000 inhabitants were evacuated and at least three people lost their lives. Hearing of the tragedy, Supreme Master Ching Hai lovingly provided US$10,000 in relief funds and asked our Australian Association members to render aid to the victims. Before traveling to Fiji, arrangements had already been made for the relief team to meet with shop owner Mr. Rudra, who not only supplied over seven tons of rice and other essential food items at cost, but also kindly assigned his staff to assemble the relief materials into packages so they could be handed out easily. His staff worked tirelessly for two nights and prepared 720 packages, which were gratefully accepted by those in need. In addition, Supreme Master Ching Hai’s DVDs, books, CDs and SOS flyers were given to village elders for distribution to the victims. In a loving atmosphere and through God’s perfect arrangement, the relief work went smoothly. We pray that the Fijian people soon adopt the humane, vegan diet to help mitigate global warming.
Thank you letter from Government District Officer Ms. Ecelina Silivou | Receipt in the amount of 18,360 Fijian dollar (approx. US$10,075) for relief supplies in Fiji
