Tomorrow’s shadow puppet workshop with David Freleng has been canceled. Sorry for any inconvenience.
BUT David Freleng will be back with his weekly Shadow Puppet Theater at Milagros starting on September 10 at 10:30am!
We just received this from Mercy Corps. We encourage you to make a donation to Mercy Corps and to help them support the victims of the flooding in Pakistan:
I’ve just returned from a three-day assessment of flooding in southern Pakistan, and I can tell you the damage is historic — and far worse than anyone ever anticipated.
Fields once teeming with rice, cotton and vegetables are now completely submerged in water. Hundreds of impromptu tent camps have sprung up on whatever patches of dry land still exist. And tens of thousands of families are on the move, using any means of transportation to escape rising floodwaters.
Already, the floods have affected a staggering 20 million people. And the worst part is that in the region we visited, the waters are still rising and aren’t expected to recede for at least another week.
But there’s not a moment to spare. Please make a donation to our Pakistan Emergency Fund to help families affected by these epic floods.
Your donations are helping us get aid to families in urgent need. Thanks to your help, we’re now delivering clean water to residents in upper Sindh Province and will establish mobile health clinics to serve families living in camps.
As of last night, we’d already delivered more than 288,000 gallons of clean water in the hard-hit Swat Valley, serving about 10,000 people a day. Tomorrow we’ll start distributing the first of 500 emergency food kits with rice, cooking oil and other basics, as well as 330 tool kits to help families rebuild.
With daily temperatures exceeding 100 degrees, the provision of water, medical care, food and shelter is extremely important for these hurting families. Please give today to help us meet these needs.
From our team here in Pakistan, and the flood survivors we are helping, thank you for all your generosity.
