| Love Letters - Leadership Tsunami Relief Fund Bob & Joy Hernandez and Fr. Chuck Kosanke Dear Friends, We are sure all of us share the sadness and grief of our brothers and sisters in Southeast Asia who have been devastated by the earthquake and subsequent tsunami damage that has taken an unbelievable number of human lives. It is difficult to understand how this type of catastrophe can remove so many lives from the face of our earth in such a short period of time. The only positive we see in all of this devastation is in the way so many good people have responded to the need for aid to God’s people in that region of the world. Many well equipped agencies and local dioceses are responding to the need for aid, and we know you are answering those local requests for help. We even have a Team Priest (Fr. Peter Deveraj) from an impacted region of India, currently serving in a parish in Sag Harbor, New York who is organizing aid through his Pallotine religious order. His address for donations is: St.
Andrews Church We also wanted to give you the address of a major Catholic organization that is working around the clock to gather many types of supplies and services, as well as, putting people on the ground to meet the dire needs of those left without loved ones, homes, food and/or water. The name of the national Catholic agency is: Catholic
Relief Services Also if you would like to donate to a fund that has been set up specifically to help Asian Marriage Encounter community families impacted by the tsunami in Southeast Asia, you can send a donation in any amount to: Worldwide
Marriage Encounter 100% of the money donated to this fund will be directed to WWME families whose lives have been devastated by this disaster. All funds will be disbursed by the Asia Secretariat Team, Peter & Helena Cheng (who reside in Malaysia) and Fr. Danilo Tiong (who resides in the Philippines). Above all, please keep all of the people, living and recently deceased, in your prayers. We ask God to help them see his love for them through the outpouring of time, talent and treasure from people around the globe. May God bless you and your family as we begin this new year of 2005. We give thanks every day for all the wonderful people God has placed in our lives. With much love, Bob & Joy and Fr. Chuck Click here for a printable page (PDF, 7KB)
