Cholera Update

By:Licia

We wanted to let you know that the matching grant of $2500 was met!  We are so excited about this and the funds that will be used to help save as many lives as we can from cholera.

This cooler is filled up several times a day with homemade ORS for the patients to drink.

We use a lot of Alcohol

We appreciate all of you that have been praying for the RHFH staff and all the patients that are in our care.  We appreciate those that have donated supplies, time and funds to this current need.  We are so thankful that we are able to provide care to so many that are ill.  Are current number of cholera patients that have been treated is 630.   Our beds have been full for the past few days.  This is not over and we are praying and trying to decide what we will do as time progresses and we need to find a new facility for these patients.

Proverbs 2:5-7 

 5 Then you will understand how to have respect for the Lord.
      You will find out how to know God.
 6 The Lord gives wisdom.
      Knowledge and understanding come from his mouth.
 7 He stores up success for honest people.
      He is like a shield to those who live without blame. He keeps them safe

    a couple of 10 minute videos detailing the paralyzed and ineffectual relief effort, quite sobering
