Here is a note about the Peace Force. Rita is okay. Marty is on his
way to see her, not sure if he will be able to fly into Colombo. Poor
Sri Lanka. Send your prayers, Virginia

My Dear Friends:
As most of you have heard, a tsunami hit Sri Lanka yesterday. The
death toll exceeds 2,000 people with over 1 million left homeless.
The Nonviolent Peaceforce team is all accounted for and safe.
Kathy Orovwigho sustained lacerations to her foot and is in the
hospital in Matara. Fellow team member Frank Anim-Appiah is
monitoring her. As soon as the roads are repaired she will be
brought to Colombo. The wave hit as she was worshiping in
church. Her family in Nigeria has been notified.
NP staff in Sri Lanka and around the world have been working well
together in coordinating our work.
Please keep your thoughts and prayers with the people of Sri Lanka
and throughout South Asia.
We will keep you updated.
To monitor the situation go to Lankapage.com or bbc.co.uk
Love, Mel
