Master has always been extremely
concerned about disasters that occur worldwide. Whenever
receiving news about disasters anywhere, She immediately
renders relief by providing financial assistance as
well as dispatching rescue teams to help in the affected
areas. Through such relief efforts, we are also conveying
Master’s love to the disaster victims. It is evident
that Master’s unconditional love, silent blessing
and help have reduced worldwide disasters and their
affects to a minimum. In recognition of the selfless
actions of all governments, organizations and relief
workers from every corner of the world, Master would
like to convey this message of gratitude:
“Thank
you, all the international help that brings care and
necessities to afflicted victims. Thank you all the
relief workers for taking time and forsaking your
own comfort, even traveling great distance on unfavorable
roads and conditions to bring love and assistance
to people in a time of need. May Heaven bless you
abundantly for your generosity and noble sacrifice.”

| Master’s
Help Reaches Remote Areas |
| By Costa Rica Relief
Team (Originally in Spanish) |
 On
November 14, 2009, our relief team from Costa Rica went to El
Salvador with Supreme Master Ching Hai’s contribution of
US$10,000 to assist victims of Hurricane Ida, whose heavy rains
had provoked landslides and floods, causing many people to lose
their lives, homes and belongings.
Governor of the La Paz Department Doris Yanira Barahona
made arrangements for a car and truck to help the relief team
reach the most severely affected communities, where they spent
five days distributing the food they purchased to those in need
with the help of a local government official. When the destitute
residents saw the relief team’s truckload of supplies,
their faces beamed brightly and they were moved to tears. Expressing
their sincere gratitude that God had answered their prayers,
the villagers said, “Thank you Master, for the food
you sent us and for your love. God will bless you for your beautiful,
noble heart.”
After reading the SOS flyers, the local people promised
to eat less meat, try to become vegan, and cultivate more organic
food to help halt global warming. The team members extended their
heartfelt thanks to the governor, local officials and volunteers
who helped in the relief effort, especially civil protection lawyer
Mr. Nelson Yanes, whose valuable assistance enabled them to reach
the most remote villages.
