Day 1276. I did not set an alarm, as Emmy is a reliable alarm clock, always being the first one up and first waking his brother up, and then later his sister who doesn't wake up as easily. They then constantly come to me wanting something, whether it's my phone to watch something or for me to open a squeezie for them or something else.

This is Salimata. She has three children and lives in Sebela. Her husband is in Algeria, but it's  been 9 months since she last heard from him. She hadn't eaten in 2.5 days, when we gave her rice. She said, "This rice saves our lives."

Day 1274. Last night it was 3:30 am before I made it to bed. This morning I looked at my clock, when Emmy got up. It was only 6:40. You can imagine how very tired I was. Soon his siblings were up as well. Around 9 am Randy got up to change their diapers and make his oatmeal for them.
