Master's Concern For The Civil-War-Torn Rwanda Refugees

At the end of May, during the International Seven-day Retreat in Taipei, Formosa to pray for world peace, Master not only attended the International Human Rights Conference to appeal for the Au Lac refugees, but She also showed great concern for the African refugees in civil-war-torn Rwanda, hoping to give them substantial help.

We wrote to the United Nations asking for information about aid agencies which were providing relief for the refugees in Rwanda. After contacting with them, we donated a total of eighty thousand US dollars to the six aid agencies which replied to us. Three of them, CRS, Pharmaciens Sans Frontieres, and the OXFAM Emergency Units, also responded with the reports. (Receipts and reports, see Appendices 1-8) There were other agencies which did not response to our help.
