1st February – the ruling party, the National League for Democracy (NLD), was deposed and the military\u00a0 junta took control of power under a military coup, declaring a year long state of\u00a0 emergency.<\/p>\n
Civilian protests ensued on a daily basis and many protestors were killed by the military. The economy and businesses were affected – hospitals, banking, stores, schools; and the cost of living dramatically increased.<\/p>\n
Covid-19 ‘hit’ Myanmar hard – for most civilians covid testing was not available, and the vaccine was only accessible to the military. Hospitals were not able to cope with the number of sick people and oxygen tanks were expensive and in short supply. Many died by the hands of the military or from covid-19.<\/p>\n
Many protestors fled from the cities and villages into the hills and border towns.<\/p>\n
As 2021 came to an end the military regime in Myanmar were still in power, the democratically elected government officials were still in prison; the military continued to strike fear into the Myanmar people with reprisals on protestors, air strikes on towns, and restrictions on freedoms.<\/p>\n
The people of Myanmar need our prayers for peace, stability and the basic human right to live in freedom and not under dictatorship. They also need encouragement and assistance from the global community to achieve this.<\/p>\n
2021 – the year in review for Faith Love Hope Foundation<\/strong><\/p>\n January 2021 – Faith Love Hope Foundation achieved Australian and Not for Profits Commission\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 (ACNC)\u00a0 status.<\/p>\n April 2021 – money was sent to the Peniel community for roof repairs.<\/p>\n November 2021 – money was sent to the Peniel community for razor wire fencing due to several burglary incidents. And in late November a further lot of money was given for Christmas needs for Peniel and the wider community.<\/p>\n Faith Love Hope Foundation has had a vision to build a new Children’s Home\u00a0 for the ‘Peniel’ children. The events of 2021 in Myanmar have put the commencement of the building on hold for the time being, but we continue to raise funds for this project. And Faith Love Hope Foundation is extremely grateful to the generous donations to the building project.<\/p>\n We continue to support the Peniel community and help with different needs as they arise eg. roof repairs, razor wire fencing and Christmas needs. The children are well, and receive the best of care even under difficult circumstances; they are being home schooled and are taught by Moses’ team – it is unsafe for the children to go to the state schools due to bombings in school yards and the covid pandemic.<\/p>\n We pray that 2022 will see circumstances change in Myanmar for the good. We lift up this nation before Almighty God and pray that He will establish justice and righteousness and peace for the people.<\/p>\n Blessings,<\/p>\n Rhonda\u00a0 \u00a0 (President of\u00a0 Faith Love Hope Foundation)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" 1st February – the ruling party, the National League for Democracy (NLD), was deposed and the military\u00a0 junta took control of power under a military coup, declaring a year long state of\u00a0 emergency.
