David Ebei has been helping buy and deliver camels to needy families affected from the recent disease that left many nomadic Turkana homes without camels. This is a very difficult task. Finding, buying and delivering the camels entail travel, communication and decision making, and the most difficult, who shall receive one camel first. Below are David’s photos and descriptions of some of the first to receive a female camel. Please continue to keep David in your prayers. Thank you to all who have helped to make this possible.
Aregae Eloto – Its one of the families that depend on the governemnt for support. The few goats they had were clered with drought /diseases. The only source of support they get is relief food from the governmnt and other NGos
