Prayers for Myanmar Cyclone Victims

He came to discuss the timing of a student/faculty exchange and some future joint academic programs.  However, as the events in Myanmar (Burma) continued to unfold, conversations quickly moved to prayers for the thousands of people displaced, missing and killed by Cyclone Nargis. More details.
