Friends,Shalom. Thanksgiving that our rescue team returned safely. Working in Myanmar now is likened to being caught in quicksand... the more you move, the more you sink. Work is a great challenge. Electricity is irregular and frequently interrupted. Water is a critical problem - the cyclone water has stagnated into black mud. Floating rotting corpses infested with maggots has polluted the water system.
On the positive side, another small team left yesterday morning with a cargo of medicine and dried food. The best approach at this moment is through our couriers who bring money in and distribute to our partners to start the feeding. A total of 480 families have already received basic provisions. A family pack consists of 2 kg rice, 1 kg dhall, 1 kg onion, 1 kg oil, 1/2 kg salt. It costs USD11 per pack.All essential goods have increased exorbitantly. Cash is still best to buy essentials.
Enclosed some pictures of aid given out.
