Here is an update on the COVID-19 Care Team for Adivasi and Poor Families Project I mentioned in my last post.

The Indian government has permitted the creation of the WWF COVID 19 CARE TEAM as an NGO, to distribute food and medicine, under the supervision of the police.

They surveyed two tribal villages, meeting with 125 families who are in desperate need of food, and are making arrangements today. They also found additional families who are asking for help.

The tentative schedule is to purchase and package the food and meds tomorrow and Wednesday; and then the distribute it over the next 2-5 days, as is needed to get it into the hands of those who need it.

The WWF COVID 19 CARE TEAM has asked for pray along the following lines:

• for the safety of the members of the care team who are actively involved in procuring, preparing, and distributing the food and meds. That God would protect them from the novel Corona virus and from those in the villages who might oppose their acts of love.

• the the eyes and hearts of those they minister to may be opened to the good news.

• that the virus may be stopped soon and the lockdown be opened. This has had a bad effect on the daily wage earners in the tribal villages. Pray that God’s hand would are upon them through out the duration of this situation.
