In May I
posted an appeal for help. It was about helping the Bedouins living in the Red
Sea Mountains after they had lost all their belongings due to the torrential
rains in March. Thanks to all of you who contacted Robby Schropp and to all my
friends for their confidence and support.
Off the
lorry tracks, Robby and the Bedouins built a market place between 2009 and
2011. Here, producers from the interior met with purchasers from the coast who
sold cheese, eggs, meat and wool. A huge water reservoir stored the most
precious good in the desert.
Before choosing
the site, the council of elders was contacted and none of them remembered having
seen deluge of water in this area. The site was considered as safe – however,
nature decided differently.
Please have
a look of what has become the market place:
Whether the site can be rebuilt any time in the future is unclear for lack of funds. If you wish to help, please get in touch with Robby or with me.
