On November 12 we completed the delivery of needed supplies to Kalitar. 

There are 24 homes in this village with over 100 people. The situation is desperate in these small villages due to covid.  Villagers are unable to travel down the river for “day work” to earn funds to supply their families with the food they need to live and grow so they are forced to scrounge for food in the nearby hills. 

We decided to deliver blankets, floor matting, rice, and to build a washing station for the women to wash clothes.

The church building will also be a community center for training and classes. 

The only accessible water in the village is good for cleaning and washing but must be boiled before consumption. 

One of the main killers in Nepal is dysentery. 

Our goals for next year are to run a water line into the village from a spring source up in the hills, this will provide clean water for the village people and bring in more goats and water buffalo which will help the villagers become more self-reliant. We also hope to build an outside kitchen for the minister and his family who plan to move into an 18×12 room in the church. 

Everything one does in Nepal helps to encourage people that God wants them to belong to Him and to find that people do care.
