In October 2012, Nigeria’s Ogun State was struck by devastating floods that destroyed many homes and displaced thousands of residents. Deeply concerned about those affected, Supreme Master Ching Hai contributed US$4,800 in assistance to meet their immediate needs.

On October 17, with the help of local Association members, a relief team from Benin went to the flooded areas to convey Master’s love, prayers and condolences. Working with the Red Cross of Nigeria and the local government of Ogun State, the team distributed much-needed rice and semolina to the flood affected, who expressed their sincere thanks to Master. May God bless the Nigerian people with a quick recovery.

Upon completing the relief operation, the relief team members sent the following touching letter to Master.
