Subject: From Quetta, horrible news

Dear ones,
This evening at 5.30pm, a powerful bomb with more then 1000 kilos of explosives,blasted in Hazara Shia community, instantly killing 85, injuring 250,
Three weeks ago in same community more then 100 young people were blasted by a remote bomb. For four days the families sat on the streets along with the bodies in-below 0 temptation with old winds, finally when Govt changed the chief minister ,they buried their loved ones .

It is no more bearable to see all this as we work there.
Prayers
Quratul Ain

Rimmi
In times like this there are few words to say to make any sense out of this. I pray then you have some comfort knowing we hurt with you, are shocked and grieving with you.  I pray for your mind Rimmi.  I pray (it's all I know to do)  for you and the families for the strength and courage to help each other through this horrible time.

Dearest Rimmi,

Thank you for taking the time to let us know what is happening Hazara Shia.  I cannot begin to imagine what life is like and what you are feeling.  I know that I thank God they have you.

Please know that you are a very loved part of a global community and that our arms are around you. 

You have our many prayers for your safety and the safety of those you love and care for.

What can we do? 

We love you so.

With you,

Barbara

Dear Joyce, dear WLW graduates,

I have been thinking a lot about all of you, especially you and our other graduates in Africa, Nepal or Pakistan. Because of the challenges with reliable Internet connection, it makes it a lot harder to stay connected. Please know that we are researching other options than Linqto to communicate with you. For now though, this is the best tool we have.
As Carol says, we are one~ we are united in our desire to bring change to our communities. We belong to each other, our voices unite, and we stand together. You will always be a part of the GWLN family, and as such, there will always be a way to reach out, connect, and find support. We are here for you whenever you need us. That is promise to all of you in the WLW July class.
We will continue with the monthly virtual meetings, and maybe we can try other platforms to see if they are easier to access.

I look forward to seeing all of your wonderful faces at the Graduation call this coming Saturday. Please try and attend if you can. It will be a true celebration if we can all be together for this accomplishment.

Much love,

Dear friends,

I will not be able to join on Saturday.   My best friends husband died suddenly today and I will be on an airplane.

Life is so fragile.  I am grateful to be part of yours.

Love,
Julie
