Flooding, Landslides, and destruction. Those describe the situation in El Salvador where your FAME partner has been a great
example of partnership! The last report I saw said that 19 people have died including some children. Many of the injuries come the same way as some of the lost lives. A family of 5 near San Salvador lost their lives when the mudslide destroyed their home. But disease is always accelerated in the midst of these disruptions to sanitation and safety. The landslides are so severe that thousands have been displaced, and many day laborers have been unable to work for weeks!
100 Emergency Shelters have been established across the country but 3 are near a FAME partner clinic.
Your FAME partner reports, “We made plans on who we were helping in the shelters but the government continues to direct people to us to see how we can help with basic necessities. It’s flu season here! And we still have over 100 people in each shelter. Our PA, Jessie, nurse Sarah, and Intern Emma, have been helping this week in correlation with the Ministry of health to evaluate and assess all those in the shelters as well as those in the surrounding communities. Please pray for our medical team as we come off the adrenaline rush but still need to be putting in 100%. It’s not time to rest yet.”
Did you see the partnership? The government trusts them and is sending people to them for help, which means your FAME partner also provides hope!
FAME has received a number of emergency requests recently; for medical supplies in the Himalayan foothills, refugees in North Africa, and the Emergency Fund is a little low to meet these requests.
Each of them has a similar theme – a Crisis situation, in when there is a healthy
Partnership, a door of Opportunity for the gospel opens!
Crisis + Partnership = Opportunity
Thank you for your partnership, that makes these “add up!”
