Venerable Pomnyun Sunim recently returned from visiting 11 Southeast Asian countries. JTS accompanied Pomnyun Sunim, identified the places in need, and provided support.

Hoping that our support can provide help to many people going through difficult times due to natural disasters or social challenges, we express our gratitude to all the sponsors for your interest and contributions.

Food and hand pumps support in Pakistan

JTS and Venerable Pomnyun Sunim worked with FRDP, JTS’s local partner in Pakistan, to implement the seventh round of food distribution to 1,000 households in the Muhammad Hassim Somro, Pakistan. Additionally, we visited surrounding villages and inspected water quality from the hand pumps installed in each village and whether the height of the pumps were appropriate. The residents expressed much gratitude for the clean and safe water access made possible by the pumps.

Construction of a Special Education Center in Philippines

On May 11th, the activists in JTS Philippines visited the construction site of the Special Education Center in Damilag, Manolo Fortich, to monitor the progress of the construction. The construction, which began in April, was at the stage of erecting classroom walls as of May 11th. The activists meticulously checked the durability of the bricks and verified whether the construction process was proceeding according to the plans. The construction is expected to be completed by July.

Emergency relief for cyclone damage in Myanmar

Last May, the largest cyclone in a decade struck Rakhine, Myanmar. About 1.5 million people were affected, with over 400 people confirmed dead and several hundred still missing.

In collaboration with Noble Heart, JTS conducted an assessment of the cyclone-affected areas in Myanmar and provided essential food and relief supplies to 1,000 households in the Minkan village.

Second round of emergency relief for the economic crisis in Sri Lanka

Following the initial aid in May, we provided a second round of assistance in July to Sri Lanka, which is under an economic crisis due to a national default. The second round of support focused on the impoverished Tamil communities in the southern region of Sri Lanka, the descendants of low-class workers who migrated from India during the British colonial era. We extended aid to 1,050 households, providing 20kg of rice per household, installing lighting for the Parsara School, and donating 20 sets of desks and chairs to the Maha Barahaya School.
