Love in Action

Grateful Burundi Villagers

By Tanzanian Relief Team (Originally in French)

In October 2009, devastating downpours affected more than 1,000 inhabitants of Burundi’s Bubanza Province, where over 214 homes and most of the crops were destroyed, especially in the Gihanga community.

Master Ching Hai responded to the disaster by sending US$10,000 and a relief team, who purchased and distributed supplies of cooking oil, beans, rice, flour, salt and soap to those affected along with Her love. The villagers gratefully accepted Master’s gifts, and the District Commissioner sent a formal letter sincerely thanking Master for Her help.

Thank you letter from the Bubanza District Commissioner for Master’s humanitarian contribution to the flood victims
