GOODBYE CAMP HOPE

As I join the Habitat team today, I consider a final thought about the tent city of Camp Hope. Originally housing almost 600, some people have been able to return to their village, but others remain, about 360, whose homes are still devastated. 

The government has been slow to aid and roads continue to be impassable in sections making it impossible for trucks carrying materials to reach the village. Sangita has a plan and funding to implement a building effort, but it is yet stymied by road conditions. In the meantime, Camp Hope provides tents, food, medical treatment and schooling. Hopefully the housing construction can begin soon so these families can move back to their villages and into decent shelter. 

Thanks all for your clothing donations. And for the additional funds which I passed along to Sangita and which will buy extra fruit and meat for the families.
