12/07: Roofing Begins! But Latrines Remain Unbuilt
Thanks to some generous donors, we have been able to send funds over to field director Angelo Ngong Kiir, and he reports that roofing and door and window installation have begun. We're very relieved that the roofing can be finished before the rainy season starts.
But our four latrines remain unfunded. We would not build a clinic without latrines. On the contrary, we expect Wunlang Health Clinic to be a model of public health and sanitation. In discussing the realities of the rainy season, the board agreed to release funds for the roof and to continue to pursue funds for the latrines.
As we blogged back in 2008 when the latrines for Wunlang School were built, latrines contribute not only to the health of the community but to the dignity of all, especially women, and even visitors.
So this summer, when you flush, when you are looking for the good place to go while camping, remember Wunlang Health Clinic, and think what contribution you can make to the health and well-being of the people of South Sudan.
