Jobs Needed

It rained again today on the way to church.  We had to walk around many mud holes in the school yard.  God has blessed us with the rain to fill the peoples water catchments.


It has been pretty scary on Kwaj lately.  They laid off around 25 Marshallese and fifty something Americans. Anyone who quits on their own are not being replaced.  No one from church have been laid off yet and we are all very thankful to God for his blessings.
Making a living for the Marshallese people is very tough.  If they do not work on Kwaj there are very few ways for them to earn money to support their families.  Everything is so expensive that whatever you do make does not go far. We have one of our Sisters who sells sandwich bags of popcorn for a quarter to earn money to support her and her daughter. They sleep on the floor of another couples home. She works at any odd jobs she can find.  There are many people on Ebeye & Gugeegue who are needing any way to make a living. There is no Internet and only a few phones. If anyone has any idea of how people can earn money, send me your ideas.  Count your blessing if you have a steady job and you can provide for your family.
