Supreme Master Ching Hai International Association relief news update from China.
Since late April, landslides, mud flows and floods in Hunan province claimed the lives of three people as continuous rains caused the Xiang River to overflow.
Approximately one million residents across ２7 counties were affected as over 4,6００ homes collapsed and 4０,０００ hectares of farmland were inundated.
Sending her sympathies and prayers, Supreme Master Ching Hai donated an initial US$５,８５０ for our nearby Association members to render necessary aid and US$１０,０００ after for more urgent necessities to the most vulnerable.
Per Supreme Master Ching Hai’s request for updates, the following is a report from our Association's Chinese relief team. May 6, ２０１０
Re: Disaster Relief in Hunan Province Most Beloved Master,
After arriving at the seriously affected Hengnan County, local government officers accompanied us to first visit the town of Liaotian, where ２7 families had completely lost their homes and some 7００ others were affected
by various degrees of damage.
In accordance to the victims’ needs, we immediately purchased １64 １０-kilogram bags of rice and 47 ５-liter barrels of cooking oil.
Local leaders helped us distribute the relief goods by car to families most in need who resided at a far distance from each other.
We also gave an injured man who had no family support a cash donation to help cover his medical costs. While there, we met another man with children who was burdened by economic pressures and the difficulties of his wife’s mental disease.
After receiving Master’s cash donation, he was greatly encouraged. His wife also suddenly calmed, showing a peacefulness not seen for a long time, which moved one of the government officers to tears.
We explained the importance of the vegan lifestyle, which some of the government officers promised to adopt in future. We then went to the town of Guanxi and purchased ３6０ １０-kilograms bags of rice and 66 ５-liter barrels of cooking oil, which were then distributed to the 66 hardest-hit families, as well as the leader of Nanyue village.
We also handed out flyers on the vegan lifestyle, as well as the book “Say No to Meat Food,” which the local people were very happy and grateful to receive.
In cooking two vegan lunches for the community, local village leaders expressed their joyful surprise, saying, “Wow, the vegan food can be so delicious!”
Some also promised to promote veganism to foster the healthy and virtuous way of life.
During the whole relief work, we could strongly feel Master’s love, which uplifted the recipients’ spirits.
We hope all people could adopt the merciful vegan lifestyle to solve the tolls of global warming.
