WHAT'S ON THE NEWS TODAY? (Haiyan-Yolanda)
Okay, somebody said on TV that help is there. So then let's see the action.....
Show the help happening. Show the helpers.
- the clearing of roads
- the aid trucks, ships, and planes
- the medical teams and centers
- the power lines being restored
- the water supply
- the temporary shelters built
- the kitchen soups
- the transportation facilities
- the communication lines restored
- the security measures in place
- the dead buried
- the packing of relief goods
- the individuals and groups with their donations
- the priests and religious groups ministering to the flock
- the global community reaching out to help
- and much more....
You say it's just starting. That's right! So we follow the help happening from day one of help happening. We would like to see... we would like to know... We would like to appreciate and thank the helpers and the help. We would like to cry in great joy and applaud.
We already know about the 'why' of this horrible catastrophe. And it's very sad. We'll never be the same again as individuals, as a people, as a community, as a nation. And I think we have learned our lessons, too.
But please Stop replaying the tears, the anguish, the misery... we feel their pain. We do! But please do not try to overkill the images. It's like rubbing salt on an open wound. That truly hurts deep.
Now show us the --- what, when, where, who, and how of its
solution... restoration... rebuilding... recovery... the efforts to rise from a very very horrible fate.
Show us the spirit of --- hope, faith, prayer, compassion, brotherhood, courage, unity, generosity, the national and global community separately and collectively towards a singular cause, the basic goodness of man ........... show us the spirit of life! Show us GOD at work!

Beyond a point,the focus should be on rehabilitation,restoration to normalcy in housing,clean water supply,power,roads and medical aid besides ofcourse the means to earn their income.The media shoulld highlight the amelioration steps taken..It is such things that would make affected people hopeful of returning back to the good days and drive away the gloom..A good post.
