DISASTER RELIEF 2011:
Already, 2011 has been one of the worst years for disasters in recent history. A recent 7.2-magnitude earthquake in Turkey killed more than 200 people and injured thousands. And this came after the earthquake and tsunami in Japan, the tornadoes in Virginia, Alabama and Missouri, Hurricane Irene, and severe flooding in Central America.
The tragedy that so many families have faced is almost unimaginable. But with your help, we are able to make a difference in their lives.
Operation Blessing disaster relief teams have been responding to these disasters with aid such as emergency medical care, food, clean water and relief supplies for shelters. Relief teams have also been working on clean-up and rebuilding projects, and in some locations, teams are even implementing new livelihood projects to help disaster victims get back on their feet.
We never know when disaster will strike, but if you are willing to act in faith, we can keep turning heartbreak into hope. |
