Summer 2002 July-August

Preparations are steadily getting underway for next summer outreach trips to Nigeria in our 3-5 year program plan before we ship to the next African country on our list of targeted third world countries.

Although there is no war in Nigeria today, the level of religious (Muslim-Christian conflicts) and political instability that was the norm a few years ago have taken a big toll on the economic and social life of the people, thus leaving a majority in abject poverty. Many Nigerian rural community dwellers cannot afford to feed their children with more than one meal a day with very unsanitary drinking water to use. Listening to some of them these days, one could sense their day dreams of airplanes dropping foods to alleviate the apparent starvation and suffering among them, provided they don't hear any bomb strikes like in Afghanistan.

The drill team is going for training at Quantum Lakes in Texas, February 20-23 conducted by Living Water International. Volunteers are still need for Health & Sanitation training of rural people in personal hygiene and basic sanitation. Women are particularly gracious at rendering this service, especially those with medical or nursing background.
