The North

Our trip to the NORTH was prompted by a Humanitarian couple inviting us to go and view the flooding that occurred in February/March 2011. Normally this part of the country gets 400mm of rain yearly. This year they received 1,024mm of rain. The picture below was taken July 19, 2011. That should give you some idea of the devastation to this area of Namibia. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints donated $500,000 N in supplies one month ago. We went to see what we could help with now.

The water had been in the front by the fence and receded to it's present position.
