The Location

     Today, some of the girls and I delivered fruits and veggies to people in "The Location". What is "The Location", you might ask? While the majority of Namibia is impoverished, this is the area in Tsumeb of severe, unfathomable (insert whatever extreme adjective you would like here) poverty. Over 80% of children in the country of Namibia are considered malnourished under "normal" circumstances, but considering the recent loss of crops, lack of food supply is through the roof.

     This precious baby girl had recently been burnt my boiling water, her entire neck and back are covered in burns that are not being treated properly. Her wounds are open and bleeding. Pray for an avenue to get her medical attention.











P.S. It is actually called "The Location", that is not just the name I dubbed it.
