The picture aboveis the family I told you about earlier - the 2 children whose mother died in the earthquake taken in by a cousin who has a child of her own. This is the family. Test results showed the one in my arms and his big brother both had Typhoid but were otherwise OK. I had some fried bananas with me and gave them to all the children. Later the 3 year old refused to leave. He didn't want to go home - he wanted to stay with me! Ah-- what a little food can do!
More on the truckload of food stolen - the food was in a truck that does not belong to HHF and the HHF car that was to follow it was detained. We learned that if it would have been known that it was food from HHF it would not have been taken! When word got around that it belonged to HHF, the perpetrators were roundly denounced! That being said, all large distributions are stopped for the present. Too bad, as the mountain people could really use the supplies. But the organization will not endanger its workers if that is what is happening when they go out with food.
Till next time.... Mary Ann
