Dominican Republic

Earlier this year the Dominican Republic was struck by a tropical storm that affected more than 50 communities. Supplied with Supreme Master Ching Hai’s financial aid, a relief team from the Florida Center, USA, went to help the victims and to distribute relief goods and supplies on February 17, 2009.

Their first stop was Santiago, the Dominican Republic, where they worked with the local Civil Defense team, who gave them information about the affected areas. They then delivered the most needed emergency supplies to the victims in Tamboril De Carlos Diaz, a town where many buildings and crops had been destroyed by a landslide, causing the residents to move to a shelter. Next they traveled to the most affected area, San Francisco de Macoris, where they worked with another Civil Defense team in a place called the River of Death, known for its constant flooding, and provided many goods and supplies to the villagers.

To express their appreciation for Master’s love, support and consideration for humankind and the environment, the country’s Offices of Civil Defense in Santiago and San Francisco both gave Master an award. Four of their staff members were sincerely interested in Master’s teachings and learnt the Convenient Method.
