It is now the fifth day since the Korean ferry “Sewol” sank in the waters off Jindo in South Korea. That accident on April 16th will forever change the lives of the families of the victims. Hundreds of families are still waiting news on the whereabouts of their loved ones. About 250 still remain trapped underwater. While the families wait in agony, they still cling to that bit of hope that their loved ones could be alive in the ship’s air pockets ~ like what happened to the Nigerian cook who survived underwater for 3 days.
And praying…
In Ansan, 1,200 people gathered in a candlelight vigil to pray for those still missing and the families of the victims…
On April 19th, believers gathered at Jogyesa Temple in Seoul to do 3,000 bows…
In Daegu, people prayed at a Buddhist temple and floated lanterns for the return of the people still missing…
Meanwhile, people outside Korea have been expressing their sympathies through #PrayForSouthKorea.
On Youtube and SNS… #PrayForSouthKorea
And today… Filipinos in South Korea will also join in the #PrayForSouthKorea as when typhoon Yolanda struck the Philippines, South Korea is one of the countries that have helped us and still helping us with the recovery efforts.
heartbreaking 🙁
this is so sad:(
Yup… I wonder when everything will be back to normal. I guess not until all the victims are found.
