The above photo is what remains of a hospital after an earthquake hit Dujiangyan province of China.

And also pray for the 1.5 million to 1.9 million victims, struggling to survive, after Cyclone Nargis hits Myanmar.

More than 100,000 have gone dead or missing.

(photo from www.reuters.com) The Military Junta which rules the country is denying the entry of foreign aid. One needs to apply for a visa to be able to help the survivors of the cyclone.

The World is begging to the Myanmar Government to let them help.

At least 40% of Myanmar Dead are children.
