However,
this wealth of cultures encounters on the one hand difficult weather
conditions (monsooms, typhoons devastators), and in addition with
an overpopulation of the country (more than one billion listed inhabitants)
with all the disadvantages that that implies. By chance, buldings
of the orphanage, school and house of the Sisters were not damaged
by the Tsunami of December 26, 2004, the village being distant from
2 to 3 km of the sea.
In this
context, the fact of going to the school constitutes a favour for
many children. By ensuring the service of a meal to the poorest,
the school of the Sisters supports the participation of the children
in the studies.
