Typhoon Damrey
We just received word that a typhoon had hit Hainan Island early Monday morning, killing 6 to 25 people-there are conflicting reports- and knocking out power to most of the island. There was flooding and we have heard that the orphanage lost some windows in the storm. We have heard that all the children are alright and that the orphanage director is staying on site until the situation stabilizes. I have e-mailed our guide, Stephanie, and I hope to hear from her soon to tell me that she and her family are alright. Power continues to be an issue from news reports, so I don’t know when she will be able to respond. Please pray for the people of Ella Grace’s first home, especially the orphanage and Stephanie and her family. Pray that they are safe and that the children aren’t afraid. Pray that their needs will be met. Pray for the families who are waiting to go get their sons and daughters from the Haikou Social Welfare Institute.
