The Destitute Receive Relief after Major Landslide and Floods By Tanzanian Relief Team (Originally in English) In November 2009, prolonged heavy rainfall in Ramba Mawe Province, Tanzania, produced a major landslide on Mount Kilimanjaro, resulting in the loss of 24 lives plus an unknown number of animals and the destruction of many homes. Our Association members formed a relief team and distributed blankets, mosquito nets and food with Master’s US$10,000 contribution and Her loving message for the villagers: “God loves you people very much and that is why we are here.” The villagers were deeply grateful for the support. On behalf of the Tanzanian government, the local district administrator sincerely thanked Supreme Master Ching Hai and our Association. On December 25, torrential rains began in the upper regions of the Kongwa River in Tanzania’s Kilosa District, triggering floods that washed away a village as well as forced at least a thousand residents to flee their homes, and more that 500 families to live in a temporary camp. With heartfelt sympathy and prayers, Supreme Master Ching Hai asked our local Association members go to help those most in need, and provided US$10,000 for the relief team to buy and distribute essential foods such as cooking oil, maize and flour. Upon receiving the food packages, District Commissioner Halima Omari Dendego, thanked Supreme Master Ching Hai for Her loving assistance and support. The displaced people also expressed their deep gratitude to Master. Expenditures by Supreme Master Ching Hai for Landslide and Flood Relief Work in Tanzania
