I have friends doing similar things in the area, and they've expressed they'll remain to continue to to work. The kids are the ones who suffer the most in these circumstances. If missions start to leave the country then there are orphanages all over the country that will be immediately shut down, and the kids that had homes and food will be on the street and starving. The locals will not do it. It's sad to see this kind of violence against people just doing a good thing in an area that needs it.
