Hailstorms devastating poor families in Latin America


A series of violent hailstorms have affected many cities in Latin America this month. While in Curitiba two weeks ago, I witnessed the destuction of a very poor district. It ravaged a little school for poor children where we do some of our Ark of Love activities, as well as 150 houses in the poor neighborhood. These poor people have lost everything — house, clothes, beds, furniture, food, and whatever meagre resources they had.
The Ark of Love and Kriya Yoga disciples immediately joined hands with the local Kundalini Yoga community headed by Gurusandesh Kaur and her husband Akal Murth and are organizing relief efforts (click on the image to see the flyer). We have already received and delivered to the affected families three vans full of basic essentials, but much more is needed! If you are interested in contribuing to this relief effort in any way, please email the Instituto Guru Nanak in Curitiba.
