Twister Howling In Bangladesh,
Dhaka, Bangladesh was severely hit by a tornado with deaths and injured victims reaching one thousand. It was a particularly serious disaster. After knowing of the mishap, Supreme Master Ching Hai immediately instructed the executive staff of the Supreme Master Ching Hai International Association to send emergency aid quickly to the suffering victims. Last year, when Bangladesh was overcome by floods, Supreme Master Ching Hai sent a relief fund of US$20,000 via the United Nation's Department of Humanitarian Affairs (DHA) in Geneva. On contacting the same department again this time, it was then discovered that the relief fund had not yet been delivered due to some administrative reason on the part of Bangladesh. Despite this, Supreme Master Ching Hai still sent another US$10,000 to the United Nation's DHA relief fund, making it US$30,000 all together. It was hoped that this fund, full of God's love, would bring comfort at the earliest possible time to the suffering souls of the disaster. In
the reply letter from the United Nation's DHA, apart from thanking
Supreme Master Ching Hai for Her compassionate assistance, they also
reported that this relief fund would be used to buy fast-growing vegetable
seeds which would be distributed to the severely hit inhabitants of
the disaster area. It was also mentioned that because of the extreme
damage and loss caused by this disaster, the Bangladesh government
had changed its previous policy of 'refusing foreign aid'. It is expected
that this international aiding activity will soon proceed smoothly.
