We spent our first morning in Yangon walking around the city with several members of the church we are connected with there. We walked and prayed and heard an overview of the needs of the city and nation.
Vestiges of the colonial era are scattered throughout the city- especially downtown.
The medical field is in need of development- care is expensive and largely unmodernized.
(Would you trust the sanitation etc of this clinic offering xray & ultrasound?)
Distinctly Buddhist, the city is piled full of shrines and pagodas.
Shwe Dagon Pagoda, the largest shrine in the city, dominates Yangon's skyline.
