Eleven students from Indonesia’s West Java Province drowned while holding hands, as ten other children were rescued during their school trip to clean up a river, The Associated Press (AP) reported Saturday.

During the river cleanup Friday, 21 of the 150 students from a local Islamic school fell into the water, local officials stated, according to The AP. Deden Ridwansyah, chief of the Bandung Search and Rescue Office, reportedly said the students who died were “holding each others’ hand” in the water.

“The weather was good and there was no flash flood. Those children who drowned were holding each others’ hands. One of them slipped and the others followed,” Ridwansyah said, according to The AP.

Still, those with a heart and conscience should not wish ill upon children who are only products of their environment.  Prayers up for those lost souls.

Sad indeed. 

But the news is only going to get much worse.  MUCH WORSE!!!  There are what one could only consider evil forces afoot in the world, perhaps like never before.
