Timely Aid for Flood Victims By fellow initiates from China (Originally in Chinese) In March and April 2011, many places in Angola were flooded due to nonstop, heavy rain. Complying with Master’s instructions, a group of our Association members from China promptly contacted the Angola National Rescue Center and were informed that Benguela Province was the most heavily stricken region and was in desperate need of help. Our relief team arrived in Benguela on May 20 and, accompanied by the Commander of the National Rescue Center, went to the affected areas to assess the situation. Floods from rising rivers had washed away the crops and food was in extremely short supply. On May 21, using the US$10,000 in relief funds provided by Master, the team purchased 477 bags of rice. Upon learning about their work, a Chinese company in Angola offered a truck for the relief team’s use free of charge. Escorted by Mr. Jose, the rice, along with 3,000 SOS flyers, were delivered to five accommodation centers, where people cheered with joy upon seeing the truckload of urgently needed rice. As the team members left, the people waved farewell and repeatedly expressed their gratitude.
