FOOD & WATER DISTRIBUTION
Before we set out for 87th Place, we go to the market to buy a one-week supply of food for them. We buy 2 large 50 kg bags of rice, half of a bag of beans, 36 sticks of soap, 12 bottles of cooking oil, and 36 bouillon cubes. We divide everything into 36 portions. The food and transportation for this distribution costs $150.

When we arrive at 87th Place, we say a prayer, and then their chief Ester jumps on the truck to give each family a bag of food. We help with their medical needs. Before leaving we enjoy a swim in their most beautiful lagoon.

One urgent need at 87th Place is an above-ground cistern to hold water. They have no drinking or cooking water. We have a cost estimate of $1500 to build a cistern which would collect rain water.
