Yushu Rescue—We’re Doing Our Best, Part 11
Leave peace of mind here.
May 4, Sunny
After yesterday’s rain had washed away the clouds, today the sun is shining brightly. Early this morning, Losang Nima and Lasang Qudan began their medical consultations. Over the past couple of days, most of the patients who’ve come for treatment have been suffering from liver and gallbladder ailments. As a result, our Tibetan medicines for liver and gallbladder conditions have been distributed rapidly these past few days—and now there’s hardly any left. They can’t help but feel a bit worried, fearing that today, too, will see an overwhelming number of patients with liver and gallbladder issues. Sure enough, around ten o’clock in the morning, all the Tibetan medicines for liver and gallbladder had already been handed out. But Losang Nima and Lasang Qudan couldn’t bear to make the patients wait any longer. So they decided to head over to Changu Monastery, just in case they might still find some Tibetan medicine for liver and gallbladder conditions there.
Following yesterday’s plan, the remaining team members gathered into one group. After breakfast, they began calling, one by one, the 154 households that had been identified in previous surveys as urgently needing supplies, to inform them of the time and location for picking up their relief items. Just after 1 p.m., Losong Nima and Lasang Qudan returned—but they hadn’t managed to find Tibetan medicines for the liver and gallbladder at Chenggu Monastery. So, they temporarily notified the patients who had come for medical treatment to come back for their appointments three days later. This was because the company’s third batch of supplies, including Tibetan medicines such as liver-and-gallbladder remedies and pain-relieving patches, would be shipped out on the evening of the 5th. The delivery truck would make a nonstop overnight journey to Yushu, and by the evening of the 6th, the supplies and Tibetan medicines would have arrived. Afterwards, Losong Nima and Lasang Qudan joined our team, and together we headed to Jiegu Monastery to distribute the relief supplies.
Based on the experience we’ve gained over the past few days, we distributed the supplies in order of township and village. First, we reached out to 24 households of elderly singletons and widows; next, we assisted 102 particularly impoverished families from various townships and villages; and finally, we delivered supplies directly to the homes of 8 families whose members are physically disabled or seriously ill and unable to come to the distribution site themselves. After wrapping up our work at the distribution center, we made individual house calls to deliver the supplies to these 8 families. Today, we were unable to reach 20 households, so we carefully recorded their details separately and plan to make another attempt to contact them during tomorrow’s distribution. Thanks to our meticulous organization, today’s distribution went extremely smoothly. Seeing the serene expressions on the faces of the representatives from these struggling families as they quietly waited for their supplies, we no longer feel anxious about the “drop in the bucket” nature of our aid efforts. We know that everyone’s goodwill is gradually coalescing into a steady stream, flowing through hearts burdened by worry and leaving peace and reassurance behind.
Tomorrow, we plan to divide all team members—including the medical team—into two groups. In the morning, everyone will still head to more remote rural areas to conduct surveys and register households. In the afternoon, we’ll distribute supplies collectively. In addition to the 20 households whose phone numbers couldn’t be reached, we’ll also distribute the remaining supplies to the town that hasn’t yet received any aid. We’ll make sure to hand out all the remaining supplies by then.
