Typhoon Victims Recover with Master’s Help By Au Lac Relief Team (Originally in Aulacese) In October 2009, Typhoon Ketsana brought torrential rains and flooding to the Kampong Thom region of Cambodia, causing the loss of 11 lives and injuring 40. Nearly 100 homes were destroyed, many of which were still under water when a relief team of our Aulacese Association members arrived on October 20 with Master’s love and US$10,000 contribution. The team distributed cash, 350 gift bags and 300 packages of supplies along with Master’s sample booklets and SOS flyers to those living in the orphanage and the affected families, who expressed their sincere thanks and respect to Supreme Master Ching Hai for Her concern and care. The children presented Master with hand-embroidered personal items as special thank you gifts, while wishing Her good health and a long life. On November 2, disaster struck again as tropical storm Mirinae caused severe flooding in Cambodia with at least two people losing their lives and several being seriously injured. Supreme Master Ching Hai immediately provided another US$10,000 in funds, which were used to purchase essential food items such as rice and noodles, as well as 300 tarpaulins for shelter and 300 shawls. In addition, 331 cash envelopes were distributed to the needy. Those who received Master’s gifts, along with Her sample booklets and SOS flyers were extremely pleased. We pray that Master’s words continue to inspire more and more people to switch to the nourishing, eco-balancing, vegan diet so that such disasters may be minimized in the future. Local government officials in Koh Kong Province helped distribute the relief items. Expenditures by Supreme Master Ching Hai and Her International Association for Typhoon Relief Work in Cambodia
