Good and Bad News

The bad news first. As those of you who follow ASAP on Facebook are aware, there is a drought this year in Zimbabwe. Crops planted in October have now withered as the first rains only recently began to fall.

The good news - the predicted Cholera outbreak has not yet materialized. The funds raised so far will be used to purchase re-hydration kits for the local leadership in each village, so they will be prepared in the event of an out break.

This is one of the activities included in the Out of School Adolescents project partnership between ASAP and Catholic Relief Services. Due to budget cuts, worthwhile and much need activities like this one had to be eliminated. Please read about the OSA project below.
