Sri Lanka Floods
Dear Friends,
As you may have heard Sri Lanka is facing a crisis with floods that have left over one million people homeless and destroyed all the crops.
The Children’s Home has been effected too. Most of our 30+ year old buildings that needed renovations were hit badly by the amount of rain and we need to urgently replace roofs etc. The effected area has been almost the entire island but specially the east coast. These are areas where people were finally resettling and had planted their first crops. People who have been on the run for over 20 years from the war are now stranded again.
Fridsro continues to bring aid and relief to 1200 families. Below is a link from yesterday’s trip to bring relief to the community we built up after the tsunami of ’04. This community came under attack shortly after we rebuilt it due to the resurgence of the war. Now they face yet another tragedy and have to start all over again.
Please pray and spread the word so we can keep the relief moving forward. There are over 20 houses that need to be rebuilt completely in this one village and we are seeking partners to help us with this cause.
If you have a moment please take a look at the link below for some pictures from this latest relief run.
Thank you for your support!
Jake
