Dear Heather,
Greetings !
Thank you very much for your kind responed of my email. More than
2,00,00,000 affected by the flood in 43 districts. In the Dhaka City the
capital 43 wards under water out 90 wards and flood water mix with the
sewerage and garbage, became serious polutions. So it is a horible
conditions even in the city. We need to do some relief work in our working areas at least where our children schools and some slum targeted area. We want distribute dry food, saline water, water purify tablets, Mosquito nets, few medicine for skin diseases etc.
We have no any foreign donations yet, in this case if there is any scope to rais few support by individual initiative for the urgent relief work would
be very effective for our future working field and our ministry/church
work. Social Welfare of Govt. office also need our cooperations. We feel obligations, if we can not help the affected people in this danger
conditions we feel guilt.
Any way it is our request to think our condition and pray for us.
Thank you once again that you are praying for my family, We do not know when we will meet again but by prayer we can see everybody.
God bless !
