For the people in Myanmar
For weeks now, we have heard, read and seen the images of monks and the general population in Myanmar (Burma) protesting and later suffering for their protests on the streets in the capital Yangon.
Burma is now vacillitating in a state of unrest and labouring in uncertainty. Generally, its people are frightened, angry and frustrated.
It has been decades since they have experienced democracy. Many in the country have grown up not knowing any form of goverment except the present one.
Their lives have not been easy under the military regime. We pray that one day soon, the people of Burma will welcome the fresh air of democracy and the joy that will surely accompany political freedom.
Meanwhile, these people who were brave enough to march in the streets to express their feelings are watching with some trepidation as to what the next course of action they should take.
We are with them in spirit and send
