Helping Krasnodar’s Flood Victims
By Russian Relief Team (Originally in Russian) On July 7, 2012, the Krasnodar Krai region of southern Russia was struck by torrential rains that caused the most devastating flash flooding the area had experienced in 70 years. Approximately 35,000 people were affected, with 171 losing their lives and hundreds more being injured. Many homes were inundated and the region’s fields were totally submerged. The town of Krymsk suffered the most severe damage. Thousands of people across Russia extended a helping hand to those suffering from the effects of the flooding. Upon learning of the situation, Supreme Master Ching Hai immediately allocated EUR20,000 to assist in a relief operation. Our Association members from the Moscow Center contributed an additional EUR17,966 and formed a relief team to provide aid to the victims. Finding all the necessary emergency items recommended by local government officials was a challenge, but when the team members were about to give up hope, as if by a miracle, extra supplies appeared in a nearby city and the team was able to purchase enough folding beds, mattresses, blankets, pillows and bed linens to supply those in need. Joined by local volunteers, the team transported the supplies to the main distribution center in Krasnodar, where army officers helped load the items. The first batch of folding beds was sent to the local hospital, and thanks to the Ministry of Emergency Measures, the rest of the supplies were then sent to other centers and distributed to the people.
Through Master’s loving blessing, the Krasnodar
relief operation was conducted smoothly. In addition to the relief
items, the team also distributed Alternative Living flyers to the
people, so that they could be even more graced by God’s love.
