Lending a Helping Hand in Mozambique
By Johannesburg News Group (Originally in English)
With Master’s concern and contribution of US$12,000, fellow initiates from the Johannesburg Center quickly prepared relief items such as rice, clothes and water purification tablets and set off to Mozambique to aid the flood victims on January 11.
After traveling continuously for nearly two days, they finally arrived at the flooded town, Nova Mambone, where they quickly handed out the items to people in need. They also explained to the local doctor how to use the water purification tablets. The local government and NGOs were very appreciative of Master’s assistance. According to their assessment, the initiates purchased more urgent food supplies such as rice and flour in a short time. The government provided a large truck, helped the initiates upload and download the food, and distributed the items in an orderly fashion.
The initiates were touched to find that
even though many people had lost their homes, they were always
greeted with warm smiles and cheerful spirits. The initiates
from the Johannesburg Center would like to thank Master for
this opportunity to lend a helping hand to our brothers and
sisters in need in Mozambique.
