Save the Orphans of the Nargis
Cyclone Project
This Nargis Cyclone destroyed every aspect of
life of thousands of people in the delta region of Myanmar on
May 2nd. It had destroyed many homes. It had killed
thousands of people.
It had wiped out many villages on the sea shore.
Many paddy fields were flooded with salt water
and make them impossible for cultivation in time.
It is very horrible. It is very tragic for our
people. Our country mourns for those who lost
their lives and who lost their livelihoods. Many
children lost their parents, many parents lost
their children. It seems that we are dreaming the
most horrible dream in our entire history. Such
tragedy of such magnitude had never happened in
our
history.
The communities of the world also mourn for our
people. They try their best to help the victims of the cyclone.
Out of their mercy and kindness flows many tons of commodities
to help the plight of the victims. Most of the communities are
so busy with the emergency programs that
they don't have the proper plan for the children
who have lost both parents in the cyclone and
who are left without home and guardian. Many
children have taken refuge in the monasteries and
some with their relatives. Some are too young.
They need motherly care. Some are of school
going age, but they can't afford to go to school
on their own. At present, they don't have proper
shelters, proper foods and clothes and proper
education. We worry very much about their future.
Their future seems to be very bleak and hopeless.
But no organizations have any plan for their
future. So, let us do now and save the children
of the victims of cyclone.
I propose
two stages of plan for those children. One is emergency plan to
response to the immediate
needs of the children. Other one is long term plan for the
children to provide them
proper accommodation and education.
