Devestating Floods


This first picture was taken in Augest on my last trip. These huts were built by Muslims trying to find a place to live. During the last weeks of October, heavy rains have produced floods that have destroyed homes, killed livestock and devestated fields. The staff of our childrens home have moved to the church building that is higher up. There home is flooded. All their clothes soaked and belonging destroyed. Maybe the most scary part are the snakes that have come out from hiding. The second pic shows the effects of the flood on the same homes seen in the first picture.
