September 26, 2009 -After the flood

The whole ground floor of the Priory-Hospice was flooded.- patients, Brothers,workers and neighbors were crowded together on the second floor. Beside the material damage to the buildings, all our official documents and many of our books were destroyed. What supply of rice we had was also destroyed.

But more serious than this was the sickness and death among the patients due to post flood infection. It will take a long time to repair the Hospice. In spite of all this, things are running smoothly here again.
