Back Home Part 2 - Photos

We now have 4 tents in our yard. They house approximately 40 people. Here are some scenes from our daily life in the yard. Although our house is intact and has been inspected and deemed safe, the adults are terrified to sleep inside. We are preparing them to move inside this coming week, before the rains start.
Tree says (virtually) "Hold me! Make my photo!"

Jesula came with her mom & two sisters. Baby sister Esther is malnourished. The whole family needs nurturing.
