Because of the road conditions everyone was loaded into one van and the Mayor supplied us with a four wheel drive truck in case we couldn’t reach the camp with the Vans. We traveled some distance before we reached the dirt roads where we then traveled another hour or more. We finally caught up with the Dump Truck loaded with the food – the roads were slippery and we moved forward with great caution. About three miles from the camp the Food Truck got stuck – we parked the van and the group of men borrowed the hoes from the villagers and worked at getting the truck moving again. The girls were loaded in the back of the four wheel drive truck and we moved closer to the camp. The camp is located on a flood plain so alternative roads were washed away and the refugees had to travel in ankle deep water to reach the feeding site.
