The Mud challenge

The mud is the primary threat to reconstruction in Garhi Khairo.  According to the village leaders, the mud is so soft that cars and tractors would get stuck.  The village needs approximately 30 homes, and the amount of salvageable material needs assessment.  Please pray the mud is dry enough for reconstruction to begin, a safe return for the people of Garhi Khairo, and ample resources and labor for reconstruction.

Today we attended a flood relief meeting hosted by IASC Pakistan Floods Shelter Cluster; which is a forum for exchanging information on shelter relief efforts in Pakistan.  We gathered useful technical advice, particularly from a presentation by IOM, the International Organization for Migration.

Tomorrow, we travel with Terry and Joanie Wiley to Shikarpur where we'll work to install a network of Ethernet cables at the Shikarpur Christian Hospital.

Re: Mud
Adam should take the lead on this. Based on earlier data, he has an affinity for mud.
