| Warm Clothes Help Children Brave
the Harsh Winter |

By Peru News Group (Originally in Spanish)
In August 2009, freezing temperatures in Peru left
the country’s vulnerable children unable to cope with the
cold, and some young lives were lost due to pneumonia. Upon hearing
of the tragedy, Supreme Master Ching Hai contributed US$15,000
and asked our local Association members to form a relief team
to distribute warm clothes and medicine to those in need.
The team traveled to Lima and prepared 1,900 bags of
relief goods for kids according to age. The packages were distributed
in the coldest, high-altitude regions of Mañazo, Capaso, Santa
Rosa of Masocruz, Paratía and Pucará. The children were
overjoyed with their new clothes and their mothers expressed deep
gratitude to Master for Her help. After receiving the sample booklets
and SOS flyers, many of the women took the opportunity to learn
more about the vegan diet and global warming. May God bestow upon
everyone on this planet a mother’s love and compassion,
so that we may care for each other and all living beings.
