We, along with the rest of the world, have been following recent events in Myanmar with grief at the unrestrained violence the ruling junta used against their own people; people seeking to express their frustration at fuel prices gone arbitrarily mad and a legally elected government held hostage by military power. As events in Yangon were unfolding, our thoughts turned to a courageous midwife in the northern part of the nation who, day in and day out, serves the poor, of whom she is one, with commitment and skill. We've written about Pari before. In a country that is bleeding, she brings hope to her small corner. Subsequent posts will be pictures we've received from Pari along with excerpts from her emails. Yes, she can email occasionally. It's expensive, each email costing her money, but she is hungry for contact with the world outside. Of her room that you see in her photo, she says:
Dear Nay (the Filipino word for Mom) this is my patients picture,
and she gave me. My room is length 15' and wide 5'. It is very good
to work in my house. God is soo good.
Love. Pari
