| Love in Action |
One month after the flood relief work carried out by our Association members in September 2008 in northern Âu Lạc, heavy rains led to another extensive flooding in the central area of the country, damaging houses, fields, roads and costing lives. With compassionate love, Supreme Master Ching Hai allocated US$30,000 to help the people through this hardship.

On
October 23, initiates in central Âu Lạc started their relief
work. Through the coordination of initiates from different provinces,
they brought help to the people despite difficulties and arduous trips.
Sometimes they went directly to the households; sometimes they worked
through the charitable organizations such as the local Red Cross.
In many cases, people were so touched that they broke into tears upon
receiving the monetary gift and relief supplies. They kept saying
“thank you” to Master and wanted to convey their wishes
to Master for Her good health. Great joy from people made the initiates
incidentally forget all their exhaustion. Overall, 2,400 households
were able to receive unconditional help from our organization and
Master, who humbly received appreciation from the people and the government
of Quăng Ninh province.
