Serving victims of disasters in Kenya and Indonesia
Dear Friends,
 
Kenya
Between March and May 2018, heavy rains caused the banks of the rivers Galana and Sabaki to collapse, triggering widespread floods in Kilifi County, eastern Kenya. Thousands of people were rendered homeless and destitute.
On 27th May 2018, about 200 SSIO volunteers, including SSIO members from Mombasa, drove for about 17 hours across treacherous roads to distribute 1,300 ‘family packs’ of food and necessities in six temporary camps for the displaced. The SSIO supported the local relief efforts.
Indonesia
On 29th July 2018, a series of earthquakes, including one measuring 6.9, devastated the Indonesian island of Lombok, triggering landslides and destruction, and causing panic. It is estimated that 548 people have died and about 430,000 people lost their homes, as of August 2018.

After the first quake, the SSIO of Indonesia’s Bali SSIO Rescue Team quickly mobilised to distribute food, water, tents and blankets, clothes, medicines, and necessities, together with trauma counselling for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, in East, North and West Lombok. 
The village of Jeliman Ireng, in North Lombok, was adopted for long-term assistance – a public kitchen was established, and public amenities were reconstructed, including six public toilets and water reservoirs.

Golden Jubilee Celebrations of
Sathya Sai Baba’s visit to East Africa
Dear Friends,
 
The SSIO of Kenya celebrated the Golden Jubilee of Sri Sathya Sai Baba’s maiden visit to East Africa, Kenya and Uganda in July 1968. During this historic visit, Baba delivered landmark divine discourses which encompassed His eternal message of “Love All, Serve All.”
To mark the occasion, senior officials of the SSIO, including Dr. Narendranath Reddy, Chairman of Prasanthi Council, and other national and international dignitaries joined the celebrations for three days commencing 13th July 2018.
On the first day, they visited the Uthiru School for 189 students, which has been accorded special recognition by the Education Department. That day, Dr. Reddy also spoke at an interfaith meeting at the Sathya Sai Centre of Nairobi. On 14th July 2018, the dignitaries along with the District Education Officer visited the Sathya Sai School at Kisaju, which is recognised by Government of Kenya as a model school.
On 15th July 2018, the SSIO leaders participated in a long-standing weekly Narayan Seva, serving 1,200 children. In addition to food and water, the children were given hand-carry bags containing T-shirts and blankets. They were also given a human values lesson.
 
A modern health clinic was inaugurated in the presence of more than 150 guests from various African countries of the SSIO, including Botswana, Gabon, Nigeria, South Africa, Tanzania, Uganda and Mozambique.

Earthquake and Tsunami in Indonesia
Dear Friends,

Just two months after a series of earthquakes devastated the island of Lombok, on 28th September 2018 a deadly earthquake of magnitude 7.5 struck the island of Sulawesi. It was followed by a tsunami and a volcanic eruption of Mount Soputan.

The tsunami generated 6-m high waves in the ocean that hit the coastal city of Palu and surrounding areas. As of 21st October 2018, 2,256 people have been killed, 4,612 injured and 223,751 displaced, including many children. 
Around 500 members of the Sathya Sai Centre of Palu immediately set up a soup kitchen and provided assistance. The Sai Rescue Team of the SSIO of Indonesia soon arrived to provide food, blankets, drinking water, medical assistance and other urgent necessities. Additionally, counselling was provided to many orphans and children suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. 
The SSIO has taken the initiative to build homes for 200 families, along with a Sathya Sai Clinic, a multipurpose hall and a Mushola, a prayer room for Muslims.
 
Up-to-date information about SSIO efforts, including how to assist the victims of the natural disasters, can be found at: http://sathyasaihumanitarianrelief.org

Dear Reader,

The 2017-2018 SSIO Annual Report detailing such activities for the period from April 2017 to March 2018 was offered to Sri Sathya Sai Baba on the occasion of His 93rd year of advent. We are happy to report that a copious amount of Vibhuti was manifested throughout a copy of the Annual Report offered to Him, showing that Baba has graciously accepted and blessed the work performed by the members of the SSIO worldwide.
Pictures and a short video can be viewed, and the 2017-2018 SSIO Annual Report can be read or downloaded here.

Medical Camp at Tamazouzt School, Morocco
Dear Friends,

The SSIO of Morocco has initiated a comprehensive community adoption programme in Tamazouzt School in Marrakech, Morocco as part of the Global Adoption of 95 Communities project of the SSIO – further details are available at:
https://sathyasai.org/95communities

On 8th December 2018, the SSIO of Morocco hosted a one-day medical camp for 421 children between the ages of 4 and 12 at the Tamazouzt School which is in a rural area with limited access to healthcare. The medical camp was a ‘prayer come true’ for the school community.
 
The camp was made possible by a team of five paediatricians, a pharmacist and a nutritionist, supported by local pharmaceutical companies and volunteers. Children with minor, common ailments were treated with medicines, and those with dental and visual impairments were identified for treatment in the future – 224 children received a clean bill of health.
Additionally, workshops in preventive healthcare were arranged to improve hygiene amongst the children and soap and dental kits were distributed to 421 children.
For more information about the SSIO Morocco’s community adoption programme at the Tamazouzt School, please visit:

Sathya Sai International Medical Camp 
at Prasanthi Nilayam – Winning the Hearts of Patients
Dear Friends,

Among the many events and conferences held by the Sathya Sai International Organisation (SSIO) in Prasanthi Nilayam is the heart-warming International Medical Camp held twice a year, during Guru Poornima and Sathya Sai Baba’s Birthday. 

Most recently, commencing on 18th November 2018, 33 doctors including many specialists, 2 nurses, 4 pharmacists and 46 multi-lingual general volunteers served 7,944 patients – 4,096 women, 3,221 men and 627 children.

Volunteers hailed from 19 countries – including USA, Holland, Nepal, India, and South Africa – selflessly served needy patients for 8 days. People from neighbouring villages around Puttaparthi, other states in India, and from abroad received medical consultations and medicines.
Each day at 7 a.m., this dedicated team offered prayers to Sathya Sai Baba, before attending to the constant flow of patients from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the male and female out-patient departments, respectively.

In addition to free medicines, prescription eye glasses and walking sticks were provided to the elderly. Additionally, patients received education about diabetes.
The next International Medical Camp will be held in July 2019 in Prasanthi Nilayam. Further information will be available at https://sathyasai.org/ in the future.
