Hi Again
I am feeling very generous this Christmas and have another gift.
These photos are of my 1 year stay in an Eritrean refugee camp in Sudan.
I was the Sanitation supervisor there and designed a Latrine project that allowed families to have their own personal latrines. Before my project they only had public toilets that were never used and never cleaned.
Before I arrived there were at least 30 deaths to cholera a month after our project it was less than 1 per month and no cholera was completely eliminated.
The latrine design was accepted throughout the UN refugee camps in Sudan saving 1,000's of lives.
Have a great Christmas and be grateful for what you have.
All Love
