bad news - good news
G
ood news : Jacky, from his bed, wants to give five days food to the children.
kilos of rice, patatoes, tomatoes, onions, brinjals (local aubergine ), sugar, flour. In quantities to last five days following Kamal’s experience - Kamal manages with his wife one of Umbrella’s houses.
When I arriived with the taxi full of food, children welcomed the driver and I very warmly, and, village’s reflex, started to carry the bags. Of course I carried the heaviest.
While didi started to cook I finish to shave the remaining head - the didi did want to keep her hair. She also thought the food could last from 7 to 9 days (another reflex), so I had to insist it had to last five days, the children need more !
Around themselves, children see a lot of change and they hope it will go on, starting by a new place to live with clean water… Of course as soon as the funds will be here….
Bad news: Good for food, but still more problems: following a shortage of gaz, people tend to use more kerosene to cook. therefore there is also difficulties to get Kerosene. Didi managed to get two litres this day. One litre = 1 day… if no fuel, it will be cold meal basis on Chulo, beaten rice
To put an end to all this, please let us know your desire to sponsore a kids or to give a donation. Money will pass by Umbrella foundation.
