Fortunately, even though the villagers
suffered with material damage but no one
was killed.

Master Ruma, they will overcome this
difficult time.
With a total value of up to $9,120
Master Ruma Charity Association
presents gifts including basic
necessities and a small amounts of cash
to each household.
At the end of the gift presentation,
looking at the happy smiles on the lips
of the people here, our hearts felt very
warm, interspersed with that is the
admiration for their extraordinary energy
and their solidarity with one another's.
In their rustic eyes, the simplicity
light up the sparkle of love between
people and the optimism to overcome
difficulties.
On the following screen we invite you to
watch the interview between Master Ruma
T.V correspondent and the people here to better understand the current situation.

So here is in Ye town has 9 quarters, the total population is about 300.000 people live here.
Aung Mingalar Quarter is about 841 families but 929 families are here.
The total population is 5,339 people live in here.
At that time, at that 9th August, in our life we never see it happen, even some old people over 80 years old.
We never see incident of flash flood in here.
At that night we checked with the people here.
Because there are 9 quarters in Ye township, this Aung Mingalar quarter is very badly damaged place because it is next to riverside here.
At that time at night time when the incident arrived it has flashflooded.
At that time most people including myself, and team and all people used some of small boat, fishing boat for rescue
all people away from the incident of flash flood here.
That is why even we lost their things and belongings but we are happy and
grateful that is no one died in here.
This is great activities and happiness for that.
But also, we really great thank to the Master because even Master lived abroad in foreign countries,
but He knows about the incident and He immediately sent all of you, attendants, disciples.
He donated, He encouraged for mental and physically all together.
That is why great thank to the Master and all of you here.
Thank you, are there a lot of helps and supports from other organizations apart from Master Ruma or
like local government or something?

Even now today when we know about the gratitude compassion of the Master.
There were no words to express how great thank to the Master,
if there is more meaning to show but there are no words to express because Master even lived in foreign,
He is very kindness to Myanmar people at this time, especially here people in Aung Mingalar Quarter in Ye.
That is why the future if Master can visit to Myanmar,
we would like to see and pray to Master here with our heart from all people here.
That is why we would like to invite Master to come and visit here,
we would like to pray to the Master.
We will forever remember Master and great thank to the Master, deeply from our heart.
Thank you very much, 
thank you for doing your job very well.
It is so great that you protect your people very well.
And I hope that you continue to do good work and 
may Master Ruma give blessing to you,
give power to you to continue to protect and take care of your village
and Master gives blessings to everyone in this village to have peace and happiness.

Due to personal reasons, many local households could not attend the ceremony to receive gifts directly.
The meditation practitioners of Myanmar personally helped us
bring the gifts from Master Ruma to each household and give it to them.

When our team followed the indigenous people to visit each household,
in front of our eyes was a scene of a devastated and desolation.
The anger of Mother Nature is so terrible,
that the poor people who live here 
are suffering day by day.
Music
We just hope that; on the nearest day,
this place will have enough blessing and fortune
to welcome the footsteps 
of a living Master – Master Ruma,
who will bring the Holy Dharma 
and spread it to the people,
and the invisible karma that are still lurking on the little human being in the area will be uprooted.

On August 31st 2019, 
our Master Ruma Charity Association
moved onto the village of Ban Dar Yoe–Bago 
the last stop of our charity trip in Myanmar.
In March 2019, Master Ruma himself had the opportunity for a stop by to visit this village.
The people here already know about 
the Holy Sound Meditation Method,
and also got initiated by Master Ruma.
Music
After a 10 hours drive from the town of YE, 
the state of MON,
our team finally arrived at the village.
According to the local people information,
during the summer time 
there is not even a shade of shady trees,
and now the entire village submerged in the water.
While sitting on the boat entering the village,
looking at all the thatched roofs 
and the ramshackle houses
struggling to stand up on the floodwaters,
our hearts could not help but feel sorry
for the people 
who have to deal with all the hardships.
Music
According to the indigenous people,
the current water flow below us 
was the dirt road leading to the village.
The villagers can walk and use the road transportation 
normally by any means.
But only about 20 days ago,
when the 2 meter high flood struck, 
the whole village was submerged in water.
At the present time,
the water has gradually retreated 
and only over a meter high
but the people here still have to use boats 
as a means of transportation.
Music
Following the floodwaters, 
we are able to reach the chief monks residence.
The gifts were placed in front of the house 
are for the people in the area,
we had sent them in advance 
and they are arranged neatly.
Heavy rain continued to fall on the poor thatched roofs 
of Ban Dar Yoe villagers.
Music
We were choked with emotion 
knowing that the entire village of 193 households,
all of them got affected by the flood.
Many households have to share their house 
with other household
- where the house 
is higher than the flood level.
At the same time, the people here 
have to bring their animals inside the house
while awaiting for the flood to recede.
Until now, the flood has lasted 
for more than 20 days
and there seems to be no sign that 
the water will recede in the coming days.
Master Ruma’s relief team has arrived to
 the people of the last village
during this Myanmar flood relief trip.
From Master Ruma to bring the gifts 
to the people of flooded area.
village called Ban Dar Yoe, Bago Province, Myanmar.
In the summer, there is not even a tree shade to shelter
but the rainy season as you can see again 
the flooding is very serious.
In the past the villagers lived close to the river bank,
because the collapse of the ground 
and the river bank so close to the sea
that is why the sea level rises 
and the whole entire village was completely devastated.
So they have to move away 
and this piece of land is not their land
Because they don’t have land,
so the government has to give them this land 
so that they can have shelter
And today our staff member has come to help 
by giving them some gifts,
even though it is very small 
but it can help them to survive through this rainy season
and bringing Master Ruma Loving compassion 
to the people who live here.
After an intimate conversation, 
Master Ruma Charity Association staff
represented Master Ruma 
handed to the monks and the villagers
some of the necessities along with 
the cash for a total value of $1700.

He is the second head man in this village.
Now also Master Ruma’s donation in this area last year also,
He donation here, at that time, 
the villagers were very happy.
Now every household have His photo to pray, 
and they also prayed to Master Ruma,
some people also take meditation (got initiation) here.
Now in this village 
there are 193 families living in here,
862 villagers live in here.
They also came from another side, seaside,
they moved here because at the time 
there also flooded at their village.
They have the feeling very bad from this area.

Because we moved from the other side,
that is why this area we don’t have no trees 
in this area for plantation.
That is why some of the families,
some of the ladies, 
they are working at the factory near Bago city.
Some of the men are fisherman.
Some people work at a field.
Some villagers they have a field 
and they hire workers to work there.
Some work at other villages.
Some also work at other cities, Bago city.
Very difficult for living in here. That is.

Because all families were delighted to see Master
when He came here to visit for donation here 
in March 2019.
They are going to see Him here, they are also happy.
That is why every house pray to Master Ruma in here.
They are also happy in here because Master Ruma came here.
Master Ruma is very compassionate
and His love is always spread to 
all over the world, not only this village.
We just came back from Ye town, 
Mon State 10 hour drive from last night.
So we started here today
because He told not only in the area 
with flooding, or the landslide
but also you have to see 
where all the people need help.
You have to come there and help.
That is why we listen to Him and come here.
And in the future He is going to come back,
He brings more love for the people here, 
because of this sincerity for Master.
I am pretty sure that He will bless this area,
He will bless these people here.
When He comes back, 
there are going to be more gifts for people here.
Just keep Master Ruma in their heart.

Because Master Ruma, 
He didn’t forget to the village,
that is why He donates here.
They are happy about Master Ruma here.
One thing they need for the villagers: 
they want to have a highway road,
the main road for the monastery, for the students.
Now they are going by boat in water 
to go to school for the students, for the monks
it is also difficult to travel.
That is why this is the need of the villagers here: 
the main road, build high main road for them.
I am pretty sure with the sincerity, 
keep praying to Master Ruma, praying to God,
I am pretty sure in the future 
He will fulfill that wish for the villagers here.
For now, just keep that in mind, 
keep Master in mind and keep praying.
I think His love and compassion 
will always come back to the people here.
Our group said goodbye to the villagers.
The rain was pouring down hard,
the darkest gray sky above 
was like embracing the whole entire village
as if it was not ready to forgive
the poor people destiny in this area.
We only silently prayed to Master Ruma,
may God be merciful to those fragments 
of the unfortunate life,
asking the Power of Loving compassion 
from Master Ruma
to hold, and to protect not just the people here 
but all beings suffering in exile
that trying to overcome 
the difficulties of life, and the harshness
that God is challenging them, 
to be able to come back to the True Holy source.
