Master’s Love Brings Comfort to Disaster Victims and the Needy Report compiled by fellow initiates in China (Originally in Chinese) Earthquake relief in Yunnan On March 10, 2011, a 5.8-magnitude earthquake struck Yunnan Province, causing 25 deaths, injuring 314 people and affecting the lives of 350,000 residents of Yingjiang County. On March 18, local fellow initiates approached military relief workers and expressed their wish to help the needy in heavily affected areas that had yet to receive aid. With the workers’ assistance, our group then travelled to several devastated towns and villages and distributed rice, rapeseed oil, and information about the plant-based diet. We also provided 11,500 yuan in relief funds to elderly citizens in desperate need. Flood relief in Anhui In June 2011, a series of severe floods inundated Xiuning County in Anhui Province. Our compassionate Master reminded local fellow initiates to do their best to help the victims, so on June 25, we journeyed through heavy rain to bring Master’s love and aid to severely affected Canxi Village with help from the local government and civil affairs department. Fifteen needy households each received 2,000 yuan in relief funds and were encouraged by our good wishes. We also distributed 300 yuan to each of the 30 senior citizens living at a home for the elderly, with the hope that they would survive the hard times and enjoy peace for the rest of their lives. Flood relief in Sichuan In September 2011, numerous cities in Sichuan Province were struck by flooding, with the most severely affected being Tuxi in Qu County, where all the houses were submerged and many households were struggling to make ends meet. Upon hearing news of the disaster, Master immediately instructed our Association members to organize a relief effort, and with the local government’s help, our relief team distributed rice, noodles, and mineral water to the residents, earning commendation from the local TV station. To convey Master’s love and concern, we also contributed 15,500 yuan in cash to more than 200 students at a junior high school in the town of Sanhui. Helping needy people and animals In addition to offering help to human disaster victims and the needy, our fellow initiates also extended emotional support and material aid to animal shelters affected by the flooding. We sincerely wish that, with God’s blessing, we can all soon bid farewell to the current difficult times and live happier, more peaceful lives.
