His Excellency Bishop Jean Marie did not take long to react and initiate actions towards helping all these families, that in a flash, found themselves homeless and deprived of everything they had! His fatherly heart does not resist a single second when facing the suffering of others: he immediately set to the task with his religious priests, friars and nuns, preparing clothes, food and other life-saving supplies, packing all what is necessary in such an emergency situation. Our Religious people are experienced in this type of event and quickly they get busy pooling it all together in no time. Now, long hours of driving are in store for them. They will not waste any precious minute, for so many people have turned unfortunate in the disaster, and they are left helpless amidst their destroyed homes or work places.
