Allen Ronk, a missionary Giving Children Hope equipped with water purification tablets, writes back to let us know the situation on the ground in Myanmar. Here is a piece of his e-mail:
... All the children are safe. However I saw some pictures from the delta today with piles of dead people laying in pools of water. They had turned black. It was very sad. There will be many more orphans. Although more women and children perished than men.
There is so much to tell that I do not now where to start.
The children are so happy to see us. They warm up to everyone very quickly… Everyday here is good, the people are so loving. Many, many army troops are working to help recovery. Army, civilians side by side working. Old, young… so many people.
Tomorrow will be another long wonderful day.
I am so thankful God has blessed me with being here.
Allen
