The Voice of the suffering in Asia

"The importance of pastoral work in this time of crisis cannot be exaggerated. The more we do, the more is needed."

"In the marketplace and in restaurants, separate plates, glasses and cups are reserved for ethnic indigenous peoples; Muslims and Hindus won’t use the same utensils as we do."

“We were accused of fighting against the government, and appropriating public land and dwellings without government permits. The parents of some students were also denounced by teachers at schools."
