What Will They Find?

3 weeks after the devastation the Burmese military junta is now allowing aid workers into the country to help the survivors of the cyclone disaster that left over 100,000 dead.

The feeling here among the Thai and ex-pats is unbelief and a sense of outrage that people already suffering should be subjected to gross neglect for the sake of the military junta's agenda. Not to mention the selling of donated aid for the survivors for personal profit, or the demand of thousands of dollars in corruption money for those aid workers who were finally allowed to enter the country a week ago.

I totally agree. I know God can work good out of this situation, but the human suffering going on right now is just overwhelming! How can the military be so cruel to their own people. I am glad you are in Thailand not Burma.

Thanks for your comment, Sharon!
Things are still very, very slow and as you've probably already heard now the junta is sending people home with 20 bamboo poles and no food, saying they can live on the frogs that have just come into season.
Unbelievable....
Blessings to you guys.
