Youth Volunteers do it again.

The first deliveries of treated drinking water were delivered to 30 unreached families late Monday night. A team including Michelle, Philbert, Yusuf and Krista used the RAM 4x4 to make it happen for the Windmill St neighborhood when all others had packed it in for the day.

Working from a makeshift volunteer headquarters at the Lethem RAM shack, dozens of community members gave their time throughout the day to serve their swamped neighbors.

Some of their work on Monday included:

-establishment and management of community volunteer hq.
-Radio calls to 37 affected villages
-Delivery of lighting systems for two shelters.
-Monitoring of and response to flood relief hotline.
-Health education materials delivered on water and sanitation.
-Delivery of meals to shelters.
