Looking for the rainbow...

….As some of you know we lost a container of supplies a while back due to flooding in NH prior to shipping. Yesterday the city water finally was fixed and we are suppose to have water to our house now, first time in almost a year. During the rains last night Lisa awoke to put out buckets to catch water from our leaky roof. But water was everywhere not only leaking from the roof but bubbling from the floors. The new city supply of water ruptured the lines under the house and flooded where the food was stored for the feeding center. Over 20,000 lbs of dried food must be moved gone through and the floor taken up to fix it…With Lisa and Sasha leaving tomorrow no time to do so…

The baby girl that was born while the doctors were, here passed away yesterday. Baby Kenya(after the Doctor) was in a difficult fight from the beginning. Mom was very diabetic(unmonitored) and the baby was in its 10th month pregnancy on the mountain when we rushed mom down. The Hospital did not do what the Doctors requested and stressed the baby even more and then all the hospital workers went on strike. In the end baby Kenya was not strong enough to fight her battle… Welcome to Honduras
