Our volunteers in Biratnagar, Nepal have entered phase two
of flood relief. In a very small hand-built home, there is nowhere to store objects to avoid
being washed away by the flood waters. Anything
buoyant has floated away in the current, and anything absorbent has been saturated with filthy water. Villagers
have lost necessities like buckets and jugs for carrying water, plastic sandals,
floor mattresses, and pots needed for cooking food. Our volunteers compiled buckets
full of indispensable items including cleaning supplies to remove bacteria and mosquito nets to prevent malaria. These were distributed to pregnant, postnatal, and elderly women in several areas affected
by the flood.
