Love in Action

Bringing Comfort to Villagers in Remote Areas By Malaysian Relief Team (Originally in English) Due to the absence of lush and vast vegetation as well as the steep terrain in the mountainous areas, heavy rainfall in late spring this year has seriously affected western Yemen and its capital, Sanaa. With Master’s US$10,000 contribution and love, our Malaysian relief team set off for Yemen on June 12. After checking news reports, engaging an interpreter as a guide, and arranging transportation, the team went to the villages of Al Morshadieh and Abkar Al Jah on the outskirts of Zabid town, where they found the walls of many homes cracked or collapsed, foundations exposed, huts abandoned, dilapitated fencing and temporary tents. There, they gave relief cash to a total of 49 families. The following day, the team moved south to the hilly district of Hazm Alowdain. Having travelled for hours on tarred roads, hilly tracks, plus climbing mountains, they reached the villages of Halian and Al Magadeh where a total of 44 families were given relief cash. A man who lost his mother and two brothers to the flood was very deeply touched. His spirit to live was quickly regained, saying that he now was ready to face the world! Some villagers expressed that they would pray to Allah for Master. Returning to Sanaa, the relief team then spent another two days giving more cash to a total of 167 families in the villages of Nogom, Raid, Bait Bouse, Al Dorboh, Al Arsad and the Prison Center area. The fellow initiates were most grateful that they could bring God’s love and comfort to the villagers, in remote and almost out-of-reach places, in their time of need.
