To Supreme Master Ching Hai,

The residents and members of the Community Committee of El Jobo, Tamanique County, Libertad Province wish to extend their most sincere gratitude to Supreme Master Ching Hai for sending a working team to render aid to those of us who lost our homes in the earthquake of January 13, 2001. Through the generous contribution of Your association, each household received zinc metal sheeting for roofs; tools including nails, hammers, and handsaws; food provisions; and gifts of candies and cookies for the children.

For Your charitable act of loving kindness, our community is extremely grateful to You.

May Almighty God bless You!

Yours faithfully,
Pedro de Jesus Amaya, Chairman
