Love in Action
South Africa
 
Timely Fire Relief
  By Johannesburg News Group (Originally in English)



 
 
   

Recently, after fires devastated several areas throughout South Africa, initiates from the Johannesburg Center departed to the affected areas with Master’s generous contribution of US$15,000.

They worked with the local Red Cross and reached areas in Kwa-Zulu Natal on September 11 2008. As soon as they arrived, they went about buying basic necessities like food, clothing and blankets and distributed them to the affected families near Richard Bay. Next, they provided aid in Durban, where some 4,000 people had lost their homes to raging fires. The recipients were extremely touched by Master’s loving care and the timely help they received.
