JUST ARRIVED BACK INTO DHAKA, AFTER A COUPLE OF DAYS IN THE BARGUNA AREA OF BANGLADESH, WHICH WAS ONE OF THE REGIONS MOST HIT BY THE CYCLONE, THIS PAST NOVEMBER.
ALL CROPS, LIVESTOCK AND ALL WATER SOURCES DESTROYED AS WELL AS FAMILIES AND OVER FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND HOMES.
IT HAD A DEADLY IMPACT TWO TIMES THAT OF HURRICANE KATRINA.
THE NAME OF THE CYCLONE: SIDR
I WILL BE ADDING A COUPLE LINKS TO MY MYSPACE PAGE 1.) A WATER CHARITY LINK, SO YOU CAN DONATE A TOILET TO A FAMILY WHO HAS NO SANITATION IN THEIR HOME, OR BATHING WATER WORKS AT ALL- WHICH COSTS $150
2.) ANOTHER LINK TO SEE PHOTOS AND READ WHERE WE'VE BEEN AND WHAT WE'VE SEEN SO FAR, IN INDIA AND BANGLADESH
THIS WILL COME IN ABOUT 8 HOURS
TOMORROW WE HEAD TO ETHIOPIA.
OUR KENYA TRIP HAS BEEN CANCELLED DUE TO CIVIL WAR BREAKING OUT A FEW DAYS AGO, MANY PEOPLE ARE CONTINUING TO BE KILLED. CHARITY WATER AND MYSELF HAVE FRIENDS THERE, WE ARE HOPING FOR THEIR SAFETY AND SECURITY, AS WITH ALL THE PEOPLE OF KENYA.
I HAVEN'T HAD ACCESS TO INTERNET OR PHONE, SO I'M TRYING TO DO AS MUCH EMAIL WORK AS I CAN, NOW, WHILE I'M ABLE-
HI JUST GOT TO BANGALORE HOTEL ABOUT TO GO DOWNSTAIRS TO HOTEL LOBBY TO FILL UP ON COFFEE AND BREAD AND UNPEELED FRUIT THEN, SCOTT HARRISON FROM CHARITY WATER AND HIS FILMER FRIEND, MATT, HEAD INTO 'THE FIELD' ON THE OUTSKIRTS OF TOWN, TO SEE.....

NEWS- INDIA AND PAKISTAN ARE IN SHOCK AND MOURNING FOR THE DEATH OF MS. BANAZIR BHUTTO, PREVIOUS PAKISTANI PRIME MINISTER, WHO WAS ASSASSINATED YESTERDAY AT AN ELECTION RALLY.
THE FIRST FEMALE LEADER OF A MUSLIM COUNTRY. SHE WAS A HARVARD AND OXFORD-EDUCATED WHO WAS PRIME MINISTER FOR 2 TERMS, WHO WAS FIRMLY ANTI-JIHAD, AND HAD BEEN WORKING FOR RECONCILIATION WITH INDIA, AND HAD BEEN WORKING WITH THE UNITED STATES CONCERNING THIS AND OTHER ISSUES, CONCERNING HER ANTI MILITANT AND DEMOCRATIC BELIEFS. THE NEWS MENTIONED BRIEFLY, HER HUSBAND'S PAST POSSIBLE SCANDAL OF STEALING MILLIONS FROM THE GOVERNMENT.
RIOTING ENSUED AFTER WORD GOT OUT OF HER MURDER, AND APPARENTLY, EVEN JOURNALISTS WERE RIOTING. PEOPLE ARE PUBLICLY CRYING AND CONDEMNING MUSHARRAF FOR NOT PROTECTING HER, WHILE SHE WAS ENTERING BACK INTO PAKISTAN. HER DEATH WAS CONDOLED BY HER RIVAL AND PMLN CHIEF, NAWAZ SHARIF, WHO WAS ALSO, CAMPAIGNING IN RAWALPINDI, WHERE THE ATTACK TOOK PLACE.
