Today's events

I'm happy to report that new photos are up (sorry, I know it's been a while).

Today we spent the day sorting through files and intervieved two new cases here at the office. Friday is a half day so we don't go to the camp. The first man brought in his daughter, a beautiful little eight year old who was all smiles as she bounced around in her chair in the conference room. He told us in half broken English and half French that his little girl had been raped by a 23 year old local man who has now fled the country, and whose family continues to harrass him. Later in the day I had the responsibility of telling a single mother with 8 children (4 of whom are orphans) that she has essentially no chance of being resettled to a new country, which means she will be stuck in limbo in the camp for who knows how long. These meetings are not pleasant, but I'll keep doing this work as long as I think i'm improving someone's life.
