The Family International Asia Pacific

Typhoon Morakot
After Typhoon Morakot in August 2009, The Family International in Taiwan pledged to do our part to help the survivors in the spirit of compassion and empathy.
Aid to Evacuees
The Mayon Volcano had been spewing ash 800 meters (2,625 feet) into the sky over southern Luzon, the largest of the Philippine islands.
In the Aftermath of Cyclone Larry
When Cyclone Larry hit the town of Innisfail in northern Queensland in March 2006, it caused damages estimated at over AUS$1 billion (about US$750 million) to the town and surrounding crops—primarily sugar cane and 95% of Australia’s total banana production.
Taiwan-Liberia Emergency Relief Network
While attending an international book trading fair in February 2002, I met an African gentleman who looked to be in his 50s and was manning a booth displaying artifacts from Africa. He turned out to be the Liberian ambassador to Taiwan.
Typhoon Toraji Aid Project
Typhoon Toraji was small but devastating. With the earth in some areas of this island nation still loose from a major earthquake two years ago and doubly vulnerable due to unwise farming practices, flooding and mudslides took on record proportions.
Typhoon Toraji
Typhoon Toraji hit Taiwan on July 30, causing serious damage from flooding and landslides. We were among the first volunteers to arrive at one of the hardest-hit villages, near the city of Hua-lien. A landslide had buried a large part of the village in the early morning, while people were sleeping.
