Thank you friends for your kindness. We’ve made a second donation of RM400.00 to Taiwan Buddhist Tzu-Chi Foundation Malaysia.

After the 8.9 quake and subsequent tsunami, the people of Japan are short of many things, such as petrol and food. The members of Tzu-Chi will overcome all kinds of hurdles and deliver hot food into the hands of those in difficulty. The money donated will be used entirely for emergency relief and for long-term construction as Japan clears the rubble and prepares to rebuild.

Thank you and may we keep Japan in our prayers. We will make third trasnfer soon and friends who are wishing to donate, kindly contact us.

May all beings be happy.

PETALING JAYA: Various Malay-sian groups have started collecting funds to help earthquake victims in Haiti.

The Malaysia Red Crescent Society is appealing for donations for the MRCS International Relief Fund, in response to the emergency appeal launched by the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) for US$10mil (RM34mil) to assist some 100,000 disaster victims.

Cash or cheques can be sent to the MRCS headquarters at 32, Jalan Nipah, Off Jalan Ampang.

“Cheques should be made out to the ‘MRCS International Relief Fund’; with ‘Haiti Earthquake’ written at the back or banked in to MRCS Maybank account number 5144 2210 2657,” the statement said.

The Taiwan Buddhist Tzu-Chi Foundation Malaysia said it will hold a fund-raising drive today and tomorrow to collect money for relief work.
