Cholera

There’s been a recent, serious development that I’ve been debating whether or not to write about, mostly because I know it would make certain people overly worried (you know who you are), but there has been an outbreak of cholera in the community surrounding Namumu. It’s serious enough that they have temporarily closed the Namumu Community School. Two people in the community have already died.

We’ve already had a meeting of Namumu children, staff, and surrounding families, informing all about what cholera actually is and how to prevent its spreading. The response has been quick and we are spreading information, but some people are still, understandably, quite worried.

Please take a moment today to pray for our community and that our children and staff can stay safe now and in the future.

(Sorry to post two real bummer blogs this week…next week I promise to be more positive and uplifting)
