In early January 2009, Kwa-Zulu Natal province experienced a monstrous storm which was described as “one of the worst” by its citizens and officials. There were people struck by lightening, washed away by water, trees uprooted and houses collapsed. About 2,000 were affected, with many who had lost all their possessions. Upon hearing of the tragedy, our beloved Master sent US$10,000 to aid those in need.

On January 8, our Association members from the Johannesburg Centre traveled about 1,500 km to arrive at one of the most affected areas, a township close to Pietermaritzburg. They received assistance from the Red Cross as well as the Provincial Disaster Management Offices. From the community leader, they were able to get a list of the needed emergency items. After purchasing and packing, around 200 boxes of relief good, which included rice, oil, sugar, beans and daily hygiene supplies, they were then immediately delivered. People were extremely happy to receive the timely aid as well as the SOS flyers and Master’s sample booklets.

Our Association members would like to thank Master for this wonderful opportunity to assist our fellow brothers and sisters in their time of great upheaval and despair.
