The defiant spirit of this community has ensured their survival despite the odds stacked against them. In Britain the number if suicides     per year is close to 6000, whereas in Pakistan it is 300. &nbsp;The beleaguered Christians     of Pakistan seem to have great resilience and a passion for life that those of us in the west could learn from. &nbsp;Grace visited the graves of victims and shared a time of prayer and thanksgiving for the lives that have now returned to our heavenly father, with the families of the dead sanitary workers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>We have set up an appeal to help the victim families recover from the loss of family members. &nbsp;We have contributed \u00a3100 to each family but would like to raise funds to support the families for six months each to help them restore their lives.
