From

I first met this great man in Tisadob in Hungary in 1991 when we were both Trainers on a big and great International Training course. He was then in a big job in Malaysia - now he is Secretary General for the Asia Alliance and Pacific YMCA's ...... so you can see why I am referring to him ....... his 'patch' has all of the disaster - other than the African hit.
He says this;
Dear Pip
Thank you for your kind e-mail and expression of concern for our nations that have suffered secerely from
the quake and tsunamis that followed.
We are working on mobilising support to support our YMCAs in the most affected areas - Sri Lanka, India and
Indonesia.
But, dear Pip.....as I have learned from you.......there is always something beautiful that will accompany an event.....
even something as disastrous as thisevent.....I am seeing the care, the concern, the oneness, the unity with which people
are coming together to uphold and support each other at this time....people and people, community and community,
nation and nation.......what the world needs now (in the midst of all the killing and death of war, etc,) is LOVE and this
is one big "quake of Love" .........
.....but that's what we are here for..........because we love the Y and the One who
called us to SERVE......
Warm regards.

.... I groan with the world in pain ....
LORD HAVE MERCY
