Pastor Steven Turikunkiko has set up a community in Rwanda for victims of the genocide. 160 widows & teenagers & 80 younger children live with him; farming, sharing their lives and caring for those dying from AIDS. The community subsists on less than $1 per person per day.
At enormous personal sacrifice, Pastor Steven and his wife have also adopted 20 orphans - who live with them and their 2 other children.

Fireworks set off for the Chinese lunar new year have killed 35 people.
Millions of dollars of damage has been recorded too, mainly through the 7,480 fires caused by the fireworks. In Beijing alone, there were 347 injuries. In Hebei province, the last standing tower of a 1,600-year-old city gate was destroyed in a blaze.
Fireworks had been banned in Beijing from 1993 to 2006 because of the dangers but, due to public pressure, the ban had been lifted.
