Seemingly hopeless people


As i was going around to visit the victims of fire (360 families), my healt felt so bad as i looked at their faces and their conditions. Some of them are just lying on the pathways. They don't have anything to cover themselves even just to lay their heads on. These poor people are just waiting for the possible assistance of other people. Some children are already getting sick because of the pitiable condition. Some are trying to reconstruct their own houses but they find it difficult to do so because of financial problems. For this, they are trying their best to ask for assistance from people with a generous heart.
