Try these shoes on for size. We haven’t had hot water for three days. I’m frustrated the part is not in stock here in Johnson City. Then, I came across this obscure website through the Langham Foundation website. I think another day without hot water is doable.

Imagine walking 100 miles for safety, food, shelter. The media doesn’t care! Only our needs are covered by the selfish US news media. Have you heard of the massacre of 50,000 civililians by the Rwandan Army? Check out these pictures and more HERE.
