Today I flew a double rotation (pilot talk for going there twice) to Motot for Tearfund. No passengers today, just freight. The picture above shows the second load unloaded in Motot.
Each of the green bins pictured is a water purification kit. The bin serves as the clean water storage, with a tap fitted on the side, and inside each bin are boxes of water purification granules with instructions for use. Each bin contains enough granules to purify 12,000 litres of water! and today we delivered about 45 units. I've just worked it out and that equates to 540,000 litres of clean drinking water!!
Unfortunately we had a rather alarming end to the day due to a shooting incident very close outside our compound. I was still at the airport finishing up paperwork but it was very frightening for all those who were here at the time. Praise God no-one on the MAF compound was harmed and all seems to be back to 'normal' this evening. Liz's Bible reading this morning was very appropriate- Psalm 5:11&12, what an encouragement!
