Flooding

Mountain Flooding Makes Need Even Greater
Sister Eleanor called yesterday with an urgent request. She states there is massive rains and flooding in the mountains of Honduras. Many homes and villages are being washed away and evacuated. The adobe homes are simply dissolving from the large amount of rain. Mud slides are destroying the mountain villages. The people report loss of their homes, their belonging, and their crops. Areas hid include: Yorito, Yorio, La Union, Olanchito or Olancho, Tegu, El Progresso, and many other mountain areas.
She has a special request for this particular Christmas Container:

Food, any type. Do not ask your team mates for a particular thing, just ask them to contribute any type. This idea is from Sister Eleanor
Shoes, again any size.
Sheets
Blankets. Since the flooding is in the mountains, she says the families will be cold this winter.
We have already told Sandy to add an unspecified amount of food, shoes, sheets, and blankets to the manifest.
Here is what Sister Eleanor and your container committee has come up with.

Pass this on to all of your team members and your Sunday School Classes/churches. Please do not make this decisions by yourself.
Box up and manifest on the outside of the box what you have collected.
Send/bring your boxes to Arley, Alabama at 9 A.M. on Nov. 8, 2008
For those who have not paid anything for the Christmas container, please ask the same people to b ring some money to offset both the cost of the container and distribution of these relief supplies when they reach La Ceiba.
We will ask the loaders of the container to make sure these relief supplies get on the container.

For those of you who need encouragement, either call Sister Eleanor or e-mail Sandy. They make a convincing plea for you to pass on to Four team mates.
