Following Supreme Master Ching Hai’s loving instruction to render aid to those in need during the winter, on January 7, 2017, our Association members from Seoul, Korea delivered 2,000 briquettes to three disadvantaged families in a village in the city of Goyang. In winter, many people in remote areas still use briquettes for floor heating. On average, they use about six to eight pieces a day, and these families needed support to get through the winter, which is long and cold in Korea.
To distribute the briquettes at their homes, we formed a long queue and passed each one by hand to the storage areas so they can be used conveniently. Even though the briquettes were heavy, everyone smiled happily and felt grateful for the precious opportunity to help these villagers. May they all have a warm and peaceful winter.
