Part 2 Distribution

 

This is the woman with six children again. I asked to see her shelter. It is about six feet in diameter and six feet high.


 

As I got close to her house I could see that the ceiling had as many things as she could hang from it to make room on the floor to sleep and maybe for security so people passing by wouldn't see the things that she has.

 

Butchering a goat. Note the round disk that she uses for a knife.

People patiently standing in a long line waiting for their name to be called to the church for distribution. They had been given cards with their name and number of people in their household. The stand in the order that their names have been called. People helping with the distribution have a sheet with the names in the same order. The lines are very orderly, no complaining. Some people stand in the blazing hot sun, over 100 degrees, from 8:00 in the morning until 6:00 in the evening with nothing to eat or drink. Many ladies have infant children carried on their backs with a cloth.
