The recent floods in the Southern areas also triggered a race to solidarity among the Orthodox believers. The first aid was gathered in the Metropolis of Berati (Berat, Lushnjë, Fier, Vlorë) and were given to the emergency headquarters of Novosel and Levan. But the collection of aid and donations continues in all the Orthodox Churches of the country.
A second contingent of additional aid was delivered today, Febuary 11, to the storage allocated for emergencies in Tirana. 160 packages and 7-liter water bottles were prepare with the donations of the Orthodox believers for the families in damaged areas. The donation was made by the Bishop of Bylis, His Grace Asti.
This aid, as well as that brought by the Muslim community, were received by the Chairman of the Committee on Cult, Mr. Ilir Hoxholli, who thanked these communities for their mobilization and the message that they convey in these difficult days.
The process of collecting aid will also continue in the coming days, the students of educational institutions established by the Orthodox Church will also join in these efforts.
