We have been inspired by stories of great bravery from these victims and the community at large. It has been noted that Church services are still well attended as parishioners opt to attend church with more fervour, trying to make sense of the violence and seeking solace protection through God.
The community continues to pray and put their trust in God and have exhibited an unshakable faith. Our Aid Workers have been met with great love, despite the tensions these families face and the imposition on their privacy. This has made it simple to collate a list of needs and to help these families effectively. The needs of this community however are immense and we are continuing our work until donations cease.
The BPCA will be continuing its relief fund to help this beleaguered community. Donations will pay towards false limbs, support for orphaned children and counselling for families grieving for the bereaved and injured.
