Typhoid Outbreak
Hi friends and prayer partners for ROWAN,
Just got an email Yesteday from the local pastor that typhoid has broken out in the community, and even his 6 children are affected. the major borehole is now down, and the villagers are drinking from ponds where their animals drinnk. I have been on my knees all night- and we are praying about how we can quickly Act on this.
For now, the clinic doesn't even have any medicine to treat the Typhoid, so we are sending over some $$ for this asap. I would suggest that any giving you can do today, can go towards this. You can just go to the same donate page at ruralaids.org, and donate under "Medical," and it will go towards this Typhoid outbreak...
