Moving Day



There is lots of movement and upheaval in the valley at this time. This man was moving his household furnishings. Betsy asked to take a photo and then we helped him get his wheels over the hump. He then turned right and went down a narrow alleyway with little clearance on each side to his his location. There is controversy as people have moved into other people's homes and refuse to move. The meeting at the school yesterday attempted to begin dealing with that situation as well as the large displaced population (there are over 6,000 people living in a camp located at a police station just on the rim of the valley). They were also attempting to decide who would be allowed to come back and build on large areas that were burned during the turmoil. We were asked to attend a meeting in 2 weeks to act as a third party. (We will be home by then). They have asked and are trying to get other impartial groups to attend. Patrick (headmaster at our school) will be fully involved.

I am so happy the Rotarians loved the school and that they want to be involved! It will be great if they can fix the electricity. God is so good! The board really appreciates all the hard work you are doing. Looking forward to your call today. love and miss you both! Carroll
