Morning in Ramtha

We've been a bit concerned about going to Ramtha, about 10 miles from here, because of the reports of bomb shells accidentally coming across the border and landing here.  Someone said as long as you go in the morning, there shouldn't be any problem.  Arabs terrorists stay up late at night and sleep in in the morning.

The hills in the background are in Syria
The city seems quiet.  Not a lot of traffic.

We went to the Altkaful Health Clinic to meet with the director and discuss a donation from LDS Charities.  The clinic has completely run out of medicine and supplies, and the Syrian refugees they service are suffering.  We saw pictures of wounds that were horrific and being left untreated.  It breaks our hearts.  The major donors for Alkaful are in the UAE, but they have diverted a lot of their funds into Yemen. 

We can't do everything, but we wish we could.  We will try to do something.
