I'm back after two productive and tiring weeks on the east coast. Things are calm here these days and life has returned to normal. The riots, looting and violence are memories but the scars of burnt tires, toppled street-side lottery banks and damaged warehouses remind us that we are living precariously. Schools are functioning, stores are open for business and the people are busy trying to earn enough money to survive. The government has decided to cap prices for food [especially rice] so the people are somewhat satisfied. The question is: for how long? Fuel and construction material costs are ever increasing so tensions remain.
Despite all this, things are moving along as expected at Castel-Pere. Thank you for your extra support lately that will allow us to keep feeding the children three meals a day. An easy way to help us is to see the web site and click on the donate button. Dedicated monthly contributions via credit card are a huge help. Please check out www.freethekids.org and spread the word. Thank you.
