                      To: The Supreme Master Ching Hai International Association,
                    Having 
                      experienced a year of terrible flooding that affected the 
                      entire population of Santa Fe, we are most grateful for 
                      the compassionate aid You rendered us, which made it possible 
                      for our nursery school to remain in operation.
                   
                   
                    And, 
                      thanks to the organized assistance of many others, we are 
                      now working and receiving forty-five children ranging from 
                      one-and-a half months to four years of age. Most of these 
                      youngsters are in great need of care as their mothers have 
                      to leave them with us while they work. 
                    The 
                      teachers and personnel here also wish to mention the positive 
                      lessons in selfless service that have emerged from loving 
                      our neighbors, giving without expecting any reward, selfless 
                      commitment, and remembering those who gave hours of their 
                      lives for others while offering a smile, listening and giving 
                      what they had. For all this we say: Thank you very much!
                   
                  
                    It 
                      is vitally important for us to be in this place today working 
                      with the children. For this reason, we thank you from the 
                      bottom of our hearts for all the help you provided us.
