Yes, we have addressed the drainage issue with the tent Cities.

We are currently in design of one of the first locations for approx.

10,000 residents.

Current design elements include proper drainage techniques, eleveated tent platforms, latrines, shower area, cooking area, and washing area. The GOH and the parties involved have taken a serious look at the overall issues and we believe we shall have a good system that is capable of dealing with most weather events and keeping the people resonably comfortable and out of the mud.

There are many professionals involved in this mission, GOH, Engineers, AID Entities, UN, and others.

We are very aware of not creating another bad condition with these refugee camps.
