Beginning a Life Changing Experience .

A few hours ago, the girls sat down in their seats on the plane to begin what will be an incredible adventure and life changing experience. Music would be playing quietly in the back ground, they would be given pillows , blankets, and some juice... maybe a little snack and a hot moist face cloth to wash their hands and face....even economy class is the height of luxury...

They are not the only ones that left Kyrgyzstan last night .. approximately 75 000 others were on a life changing experience as well... who was there to offer them a blanket or pillow.. did they get a nice glass of juice and a moist towel ? All across the country, their is outrage over what is happening in the south . The new government is trying desperately to control the mobs that are for the most part fueled by political powers from the past in an atempt to destabilize the government . I have heard from several of our friends that are trying to get relief to the families in the South ... but have not yet established a secure method of delivering aid...

With this senseless killing going on in the south, its significance easily draws the focus, yet all over the country, there is a constant edge to life. In the last couple weeks, with in a couple block's alone of our apartment, many of the land markes have been destroyed... Three gas stations , our favorite restaurant and the new shopping centre have all been bombed.

Please remember the people of Kyrgyzstan , those that have lost so much... those that are working to help their fellow citizens, the government who is trying so hard to rebuild a shattered nation, and bring it peace.. but most of all right now remember the widows and orphans in their time of need ...
