1 million Rohingya refugees flee to Bangladesh

I have a friend in Bangladesh right now helping the refugees. She posted: "The Rohingya refugee crisis continues here in Bangladesh. Every day the camps are growing as more people seek Refuge from the Burmese army inflicting acts of genocide against them. I am thankful to be working with @medicalteams to help provide them with essential items to keep them healthy. They are a gentle and gracious people".

What is amazing is that the world sits back and lets one nation commit genocide and takes no action under the guise of sovereignty of nations. Reports show that 1 million Rohingya people have fled to Bangladesh for refuge.  60% are children; that means there has to be a large percentage of orphans in that group.

This picture is quite sobering. It upsets me that evil can be so cruel and destructive. Something can be done. I definitely need to rethink how I can retool my life to help orphans.
