After meeting with the local Rotary Club whose members live all across town, we decided to distribute 200 of the remaining sacks quietly in Agadez as individual help from personal local friends so as not to attract any intervention. Not in the name of any organization. They will handle this discretely and will send us the list of names and photos of the transactions. We will send the final 50 sacks to Inbisguin a very poor village just east of Agadez with no attention going to it. This was requested by Ann Elston, one of the donors who knows the village personally and asked us to investigate. Her fears proved right and we acted.
We still have over $4000 which we will wait to spend on more long term recuperation efforts. This will be done in the next weeks as we find out what the most urgent needs are.
