REACHING OUT TO EARTHQUAKE VICTIMS IN GUJARAT

This gateway to the ancient city Bhuj, which is hundreds of years old, is one of the few parts remaining of the city wall after the devastating earthquake.

A typical scene: Collapsed buildings where multiple floor slabs were directly on top of each other, all contents trapped between them, including people.

Here we are visiting some rural village people who had received no aid whatsoever. We gave them our own personal tent to shelter their three very young children. They were so very thankful that they cried tears of joy.
