Elena never got to the computer to send me more updates, it must be incredibly difficult to do so there. I was able to speak to her again briefly in the past few days although yesterday she would answer the phone, but couldn't hear me so I was unable to speak with her.
She told me that she's well and that everyones main concern right now is that in about 5 to 6 weeks the rain season will begin and that the people in the makeshift camps that were set up as an aftermath of the earthquake need to be moved. The hygiene conditions are minimal, if not null and there is a lot of garbage in the streets that can easily contaminte the little water that they do have. There are over 20,000 people that need to be moved and Elena and the rest of the volunteers will most likely have to focus on that for the time being.
She told me that she would keep on informing me. I'll try calling her later and will let you know.
