Supreme Master Ching Hai,

With much joy we received a donation in the amount of TWO THOUSAND ONE HUNDRED NINETY FIVE US DOLLARS ($2,195.00) from The Supreme Master Ching Hai International Association, the Los Angeles Center, California, U. S. A. This money will be of great help to the underprivileged of this community, most especially the little children and orphans whom we shelter and assist in Culion.

As barangay (rural community) officials, we serve not only as links between the Governent and the community people, but also as de facto guardians of the colony and municipality to whom our constituents go for their needs, great or small. During these times, more and more community activities are being entrusted to the local barangays. Please allow me to mention that there is only one barangay in Culion, which has a population of eighteen thousand. At present, we have several plans in the works, and one of these that we promised to attend to in 2002 is to provide a
livelihood project for our poor and needy constituents. Please be informed that most of the amount you sent will be used for this purpose.

With sincere thanks, then, for your kind concern, and assuring you of our continued prayers for your work, again, thank you to the Supreme Master Ching Hai International Association for donating such a considerable amount.

We hope to hear from you again in the future.

Yours very sincerely,
Hon. Venicio Albano
Barangay Kagawad
