WHILE STILL HOPING FOR A DURABLE SOLUTION, AND AN ATTENTIVE EAR TO HEAR OUR CALL, THERE IS ANOTHER SITUATION THAT IS MAKING LIFE MORE DIFFICULT FOR THE LIBERIAN REFUGEES SOJOURNING OUTSIDE THE BONBERGER COMPOUND IN SAN PEDRO. THE PROBLEM IS THIS, DUE TO THE HEAVY RAIN THAT HAS BEEN OUTPOURING HERE FOR THE PAST THREE DAY, THERE'S A GROWING FEAR THAT THE WATERS FROM THE RIVER NEAR BY WILL OVERTAKE THE CAMP IN DAY TO COME IF THE RAIN CONTINUES TO FALL. THE WATER HAD BEEN A DISTANCE OF APPROXIMATELY 400 METERS AWAY FROM THE CAMP BUT SINCE THE RAIN,THE WATER HAS COVER A DISTANCE SOME 300-350 METERS FROM IT'S ORIGINAL SOURCE, MEANING THE WATER HAS COME CLOSE TO 50 METERS FROM THE CAMP. SINCE THIS RECENT DEVELOPMENT, WE ARE FINDING IT VERY DIFFICULT TO GET A SAFE AND POUR DRINKING WATER, SINCE OUR ONLY WELL WAS OVERFLOODED BY THE SWARP WATER. THIS SAD SITUATION HAS ALSO PROVOKED THE ATTACKED OF ANT,STINGING INSECTS, AND SNAKES THAT HAS LEFT THE BUSHES IN ESCAPE OF THE WATER OVERFLOW TO FIND A SAFE HAVEN IN THE HIDEOUTS OF THE REFUGEES.

PLEASE COME TO OUR AID.
