Sanitation

There are many heath issues in our area and one in is a very obvious one.  There are not very many bathrooms.  So many people will just go outside, or in the bushes, or make what we call poop bombs (that is where they go in a plastic sack and throw it in the bushes or in the river or on top of a neighbors roof.)  Then when it rains and floods, all of the bombs make their way to the river and ocean.  Some will burst open and some will get stuck on the way.  This is why many times a year we get Amoebas, and other critters that get us sick.  The city has helped to build a few small outhouses, and Zoe has helped build six.  This lack of sanitation in no way reflects the character of these people. In fact this family in this picture is one of the sweetest and most faithful to Patti"s bible studies in the the area.  Her passion and love for Jesus is amazing. We are continuing to find ways to help and the city has been helping more than ever before.  So thank you for your prayers and hopefully soon we will get everyone a bathroom.
