IDP camp!!!

Today we worked with the Red Cross to distribute food to people affected by the mud slide back in February. I now have a blister on my hand and I don’t think I have ever been so dirty. We gave them beans and posho (finely ground corn). Each person got 1 kg of beans and 4 kg of posho. We counted it out per family (sometimes up to 44 scoops per family). We estimated about 400-500 families today with over twice that to go. Now time to relax and of course no power tonight!
