20 Oct 2020, a day in progress

Status: Sheltering in place, we have plenty of food and supplies. We’ve installed a new Air Conditioner and there is a terrible amount of work to be accomplished. The highest priority is insulate the ducts against moisture and clean up the living room.

“If we wish to establish racial equality or gender equality, or equality in any social structure — acknowledge that we can’t pick and choose who gets to be a part of the equality equation. As a humanitarian, before any label that I associate with myself; I hope we recognize that we can only resolve our issues through respect and humility. Through recognizing that it’s not okay to simply “demand” respect whilst belittling an entire culture.” medium.com/in-defense-of-white-people

Feelings: As Christians we are compelled to look after the Widows and the poor. Just how we do that in this climate when there is so much energy fighting the democracy I don’t know.

One of our Childfund children is living in a home without power. They are using kerosene lamps for light at night which is really bad for their health. It appears that the in country team has responded with a quote to provide commercial power to their home.

This is a quote to install what American’s usually see as a construction pole with a duplex outlet underneath near their home. They will also need an extension cord to reach into their bamboo house and a light fixture to replace the kerosene lamp.

It will take until November to receive the money in country and maybe late December before the power pole is installed and connected to over 700 feet of wire. In America we would have installed telephone poles every hundred feet. (Five poles.) The voltage drop will probably prevent running a refrigerator.
