Caleb’s Update – Two Away A quick update on food distribution – we’re at about the half way point meaning we have completely distributed about two of four containers.

The logistics of moving the food through the country to various distribution points have not been easy, but today all the planning has finally started to pay off.

Climate on the Saline As part of their trip to help distribute aid, Caleb and Andy visited the saline. They took a translator, going door to door to get a feel for the struggles of its inhabitant’s daily lives.
