CYCLONE / TOILETS / CIVIL WAR
JUST ARRIVED BACK INTO DHAKA, AFTER A COUPLE OF
DAYS IN THE BARGUNA AREA OF BANGLADESH, WHICH
WAS ONE OF THE REGIONS MOST HIT BY THE CYCLONE,
THIS PAST NOVEMBER.
ALL CROPS, LIVESTOCK AND ALL WATER SOURCES DESTROYED
AS WELL AS FAMILIES AND OVER FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND HOMES.
IT HAD A DEADLY IMPACT TWO TIMES THAT OF HURRICANE KATRINA.
THE NAME OF THE CYCLONE:
SIDR
I WILL BE ADDING A COUPLE LINKS TO MY MYSPACE PAGE
1.) A WATER CHARITY LINK, SO YOU CAN DONATE A TOILET TO A FAMILY
WHO HAS NO SANITATION IN THEIR HOME, OR BATHING WATER WORKS AT ALL-
WHICH COSTS $150
2.) ANOTHER LINK TO SEE PHOTOS AND READ WHERE
WE'VE BEEN AND WHAT WE'VE SEEN SO FAR,
IN INDIA AND BANGLADESH
THIS WILL COME IN ABOUT 8 HOURS
TOMORROW WE HEAD TO ETHIOPIA.
OUR KENYA TRIP HAS BEEN CANCELLED DUE TO CIVIL WAR
BREAKING OUT A FEW DAYS AGO, MANY PEOPLE ARE CONTINUING
TO BE KILLED.
CHARITY WATER AND MYSELF HAVE FRIENDS THERE,
WE ARE HOPING FOR THEIR SAFETY AND SECURITY,
AS WITH ALL THE PEOPLE OF KENYA.
I HAVEN'T HAD ACCESS TO INTERNET OR PHONE,
SO I'M TRYING TO DO AS MUCH EMAIL WORK AS I CAN, NOW,
WHILE I'M ABLE-
OK.
ALL BEST.
MUCH
LOVE,
XCHAN
