Small Village Relief

Small Village Relief
Originally uploaded by paulbrockmann.

One distribution I helped with was to a small village 30 minutes to an

hours’ walk (depending where in the village you lived) away from the

road, up and down via a small dirt path over hills and past rice

paddies and vegetable fields. The area is absolutely lovely — but my

American self spent some time wondering what it must be like living

here, and how, for instance, even the bricks and mortar to build the

houses get delivered — walking along the path as shown just below,

one man wheeling the barrow full of relief supplies we’ve just given

him.

Here you see the barrows packed and waiting for the folks to pick them

up; in the next shots you’ll see people coming up the path to the road

to get them, and the one man and his son taking them home.
