Daily Concerns of Life at the IDP Camp

 Hello friends, 

I had a short visit to the Internally Displaced People's (IDP) camp and gave them a few books  before the schools open.  There  is so much they need but nonetheless it was so great to be able to visit with the people I have met some time back.

All children love a treat and these ones are no different. They concentrate on opening their candy.

The children are so happy to receive their treats and booklets for school.

                                   Flour for chapatis and maize flour for ugali  is needed.

 

Blankets are also much needed.

Please continue to pray for these dear ones as they continue to trust in the Lord for their movement to the new land  that was promised by the government. Their complaint was that some of their names were not on the list.  I could not independently verify that but continue to pray for these dear ones.  

Not only are they dealing with their concerns about moving, but the rains are becoming too much for their worn out and leaking  tents so they are trying to keep warm.

This little girl is trying to keep warm and dry with her coat and boots but the tents are leaking.

The little one eagerly grabs the blanket.

We hope to take more books and other supplies this week. 

Please continue to pray for us.

Helping a young mother start her charcoal business so she can support her family.

She has her charcoal lined up for customers.

Everyone is eager to see what we have brought. We usually bring sweets for the kids.

This woman is showing me her crowded living quarters. There is no room for cooking inside.

She cooks for her 5 children outside where these stones are.

The main things I bring for the people are mosquito nets to protect them from malaria. I also bring blankets to keep them warm as their shelters are not adequate to keep out the wind and rain.

These are the makeshift shelters they live in. There are about 35 families here.

Someone is always in need of medical attention.

Even the smallest things can make a big difference to the health of the children. These people are too poor to buy even the cheapest of medicines.

I brought sweets too. Even the adults like these little treats.

The Missions of Hope also provided food relief on December 24, 2011. If you missed it please see my last post.

You can help us by donating whatever you can so we can continue these kinds of relief efforts.
