We may make plans, but only the hard-hearted refuse to change those plans when tragedy strikes. Christian Action was not scheduled to begin serving the orphans of Yushu until a new orphanage had been built, but the earthquake shattered all the schedules and I'm glad we could immediately begin to serve the suffering people of Yushu.

Five months ago I told you that we feared for the life of seven-year-old Cai Rang who has severe hydrocephalus. I also said, "sometimes the medical problems are just too big." Two months later I told you that the build up of fluid meant he could no longer hold up his head and that it would be a challenge to transport him from Xining to Beijing, where he could get specialised attention.

A Day of Mourning in China was announced by the Government as we prepared this post. The death toll from last week's earthquake in Yushu, Qinghai Province, has reached 2039, and thousands more were injured. What media pictures haven't shown you are the injured people now filling the hospitals in Xining, and the other heart-broken and devastated people flooding into this city that now need care.

Scenes that we long to see : Tibetan folk dancing in front of a school building won't be possible for quite some time due to the April 14 earthquake (this photo from a neighboring county).
*** Update : Latest news : Premier Wen told the Director of the Children's Home that the children will be prioritized for shelter. Shelters are now set up on the horse festival grounds and tents have arrived. Please pray for the Director's wife as she was injured in the earthquake and is now in hospital in Xining (10 hours from Yushu) where we are doing all we can to support her. ****

All the children, staff and buildings in Huang Nan (above) and Xining Children's Homes survived the earthquake unscathed.
Dear Friends,
Siew Mei arrived in the UK for meetings just a few hours ago, so she has been unable to do anything about letting you know what has happened in the earthquake zone. I’m writing on her behalf. My name is Clarence Tsang, Deputy Director of Christian Action... nice to meet you!
