News from India!

Siani and Suphula are back with the children in the orphanage. Everyone there is safe.

But other problems now exist. There is flooding throughout the states of Orissa and Bihar.

Someone just sent this information:

In many areas water is flowing over the village settlements. At least 2.1 million people are affected in 417 villages. Millions of people have been displaced and thousands of people are missing and field workers from Action Aid and other organizations in the Citizen's Initiative on Flood in Bihar believe 2,000 people have been killed.

From me again: In the United States we watch our television sets to find out what is happening with our presidential elections. That, of course, is important to all of us.

And we watch news about the weather to see whether the hurricanes will hit our eastern shores.

But I wish we could also be given news about what is happening in India and other places in the world.
