I Received an Email From India About Covid-19 Suffering and Deaths

It hits home when you have a connection to those who suffer and die

Yesterday I received an email from a children’s school in India to which I have a connection.

The school is the Little Stars School in Varanasi, India. I am a supporter of this school.

India suffered its worst day of this pandemic with hospitals overwhelmed and crematoria unable to handle all the dead. Families are grief-stricken.

Some of the students of the school, teachers, the Headmistress, and the President of the school and his family have been infected.

In Varanasi, which I visited a few years ago, the crematorium overheated and was closed.

There is a shortage of wood for cremations

Wood is used for the majority of cremations in India. To reduce pollution and improve air quality, the Indian Government has encouraged its citizens to use electric crematoria. But using wood is the traditional way and it’s what the majority prefer. This is what our tour guide told us.

Families lining up outside the crematorium to have the bodies of their loved ones cremated also have to deal with what was described in the email as “the arbitrary price of cremation with wood.”

This is very sad news.

India was doing so well

It seemed that India was doing so well.

India donated vaccines to poor countries including Barbados and Guyana. Canada’s Prime Minister Justin Trudeau spoke to his Indian counterpart Narendra Modi a few months ago to ask India to help Canada by providing badly needed vaccines.

India will need all the vaccines it can get its hands on for its citizens and will no doubt be unable to donate vaccines to other countries for the time being. Lest anyone criticizes India for this, all other countries are doing the same. In America, it’s “America First” regardless of who is President.

The UK is now in a position to start re-opening its economy because it focused on vaccinating its citizens first before thinking of helping other countries. The UK and the EU engaged in verbal warfare over the delivery of vaccines.

As the saying goes, charity begins at home.

Your outlook changes when people you know are affected

I have never met anyone from the Little Stars School but I feel a special connection to them because of my support.

Varanasi is also a special place for me because my paternal grandfather is from Varanasi, and I visited the city.

Therefore, the suffering in Varanasi and at the Little Stars School hits close to home.

I know that there is equally unbearable suffering in many other countries around the world, but I watch and pay very little attention to the news about the virus because it is so heartbreaking.

By the grace of God, no member of my family, or any friend or acquaintance, has been infected with the Covid-19 virus, and I pray it stays that way.

I pray that Covid-19 is defeated and that the untold suffering comes to an end very soon.

Thanks for reading and stay safe.
