Tragic Story from Cyclone

Shathi (6 years) and Shubho (4 years) lost their mother immediately after the cyclone Aila. Their house was broken down and she committed suicide out of her frustrations.

It should be noted here that she lost her husband last year during another cyclone SIDR. She faced many challenges last one year and finally gave-up. Shathi and Shubho are now orphans and vulnerable. They lost their father and mother in two consecutive cyclones. Please join us in prayer for these children. Thanks.
