First we would like to express our feelings of sympathy to all the people of the Philippines who have suffered, and who are still suffering by the typhoon. We learned 33,000 people were evacuated from the the east of the main island due to "super typhoon" bore down on Friday, September 25, 2009 and a week after flash floods in and around Manila killed nearly 300 people.

We would also like to express our feelings of sympathy to all the victims of Indonesia who were badly damaged in the earthquake, occurred in Sumatra island on Oct.1, 2009. We heard that 1,000 people are feared dead and many more trapped in rubble.

We really do hope that human damage won't be expanded and exacerbated in both countries.
We always pray for you all,
