Misery is great, the food poor and totally inadequate, tropical diseases decimate the missionaries (6 during the decade 1926-1936, all young people) so that in 1928 the General Superior of PIME father Paolo Manna, visiting Mong Lin, threatened the bishop of Kengtung to quit the mission if other young missionaries died for lack of nutritious food or because they lived in huts of mud and straw.
Paolo Manna (16 January 1872, Avellino - 15 September 1952, Naples) was an Italian Catholic missionary in Burma (now Myanmar) who was the superior general of the Pontifical Institute for Foreign Missions.
