Saving what he owns and walking home. Food is scarce. Relief work is not for those who want an easy life!

Friends

Today I hoped I would have good news and that you would soon not need emails like this from me. Sadly the situation has deteriorated badly as you will see from the photos. Our staff are exhausted but pleased to be saving lives. Your donations, prayers and thoughts are keeping us going. Thank you to all the donors and volunteers.

The BBC interviewed me earlier but said that other major stories may knock us off the main news but here the situation is still desperate.

Blessings,

Craig.

Friends,

How much longer can people live like this?

Now I just pray that the typhoon bearing down on us changes course.

Thank you for caring,

Craig.
