“One village we assisted is called Oaktwin. It was hit very hard by the cyclone. On the other side of the river is Bonetawpyae village which was completely wiped out. All the survivors took refuge at the monastery in Oaktwin. When we arrived, we found the monks leading a prayer for the dead for a group of 40 men. Each man had lost his wife in the cyclone and most of them lost children too. It was such a sad and tragic scene. I can tell you that here and everywhere we bring aid, the people are struggling for their lives. They have lost their family, their fish farms and rice paddies and their homes. They have no way to resume their work and earn money. The people still need help badly.”
