We had our weekly visit this morning, even though we visit during the week, this is our sacrosanct visit. We brought supplies for them courtesy of the US Navy Seabees and the Yap State Public Health stff. They are always appreciative of what anyone donates. One local man also came this morning with a bag of rice.
It is very sad to hear the men talking to the police this morning. They again were out of food. No one agency is providing them with rice or vegtables or any other staple, so without the generosity of the people mentioned they would be starving. We have on our hands here a pending humanitarian crisis if no one steps up to help and it is impossible to get any international agency involvevd. I have tried several and I will continue to try to get help. We must keep in mind that they will continue to receive medical care at the hospital. The director gave her word. We need another organization to step up and provide food and essential supplies.
And the crown funding website is still open for any donations. (rockethub.com "Green boat men fund").
We had a good talk this morning, I did let them know that there are people who care and people who help provide them with food and other items. They are holding together well as a unit. And on the good new side, there are no major illnesses and no disease outbreaks.
It poured down rain when we were visiting. But it is a warm rain, even when we are soaked it is not cold, so sometimes we just walk in the rain. I wear my blue poncho (always a crowd pleaser as I do not think anyone else has one) in the down pours but didn't have it handy today. So the pictures are a bit foggy.
Here are a few of the men. The rest were uner the shelter and out of the rain. We had a good talk this morning. I do feel very bad that they are in this situation - they are really very nice and just victims of a scam. Shorty, Hope and Princess Ali the pup joined the men for the pictures!
