The earth has stopped shaking in Myanmar, but the effects of the massive earthquake linger like a heavy cloud. Homes are gone, families are torn apart, and every single person feels the weight of it – some with bruises and cuts, others with aching hearts. People are tired, physically and emotionally, barely hanging on. Yet, we can’t give up now. The survivors need us to keep going, to look ahead, and to get ready for what’s coming. If we just react without planning, our efforts will be messy and weak – like trying to scoop water with a leaky bucket. Right now, we need to focus on the health problems that might hit us next and figure out how to face them together.
