Love in Action
| Bosnia and Herzegovina |
Conveying the Gift of Love to the Flood Affected By Bulgarian Relief Team (Originally in Bulgarian) In December 2010, Bosnia and Herzegovina and the surrounding area experienced the worst flooding in a century, causing local officials to declare states of emergency. The flash floods led to the evacuation of 40,000 people, many of whom needed shelter and other assistance. Although the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) helped approximately 2,400 affected people, the agency warned that the victims would continue to need help in the following months. Concerned about the suffering people, Supreme Master Ching Hai provided US$11,000 to assist our Bulgarian Association members in conducting relief work in the country. Directed by the local Red Cross, the relief team visited a village in the city of Bijeljina in April 2011, where about 100 people were in need of assistance. With the cooperation of Red Cross volunteers, who kindly provided transportation and translation service, the team distributed emergency supplies and cash to the grateful recipients.
