Good news from Mapaki. Just off the phone with Chief Kebombor. They anticipate the last houses in the chiefdom to be off quarantine by another week; no new cases in the last days...thanks to a massive locally organized sensitization campaign reaching every household in the chiefdom...and thanks to the support of many of you. Meanwhile, Saidu's support of survivors in Makeni is also going well. After months of worry, I'm going to spend a few days in peace telling myself things are OK for now. Hands and hearts reaching friends afar. Thank YOU, my friends!!
