Socks for the refugees


rs. Again we have a lot of rain and most of the corn crop is ruined. People have not enough to eat and there might be a food shortage before the end of the year. The IDP's invested their money from the Government in buying land on which they place their tents. Money for more and for enough food is not existent. As it became cold here, I took the initiative to give some socks to the refugees ... and they are very grateful. Little Peter (see picture) is one of them. He is also especially happy since he is going to the kindergarten now.
