Funds Needed
- Funds are desperately needed for medicines; during our stay I witnessed a 13
year old girl dying of malaria ... there was no medicine and no transport
to help her. Drugs to treat malaria are relatively inexpensive ... it is
heartbreaking to see children dying of such diseases.
- Funds are needed to help them provide buildings to establish feeding programes
for the children and to help in providing buildings for the Lazarus children
where they can live in and be supervised by the pastors.
- Funds are needed to provide bore holes and water pumps to pump fresh, clean water ...
this is a very serious problem in these Mountain Provinces. All their washing is done in the river.
Recent reports from Pastor Pacio tell us that they are in a 'state of calamity' with strong tornados
destroying plantations and much needed crops. They have been told these typhoons will continue until
December. In these situations medicine becomes a priority because of malaria, but they have no money
to buy them ... and the children suffer.
OUR LAZARUS CHILDREN IN THE PHILIPPINE MOUNTAIN PROVINCE GREET YOU AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR LOVE AND SUPPORT IN HELPING THEM
