A few days ago it rained in Baghdad. Workers actually wore rain coats. Central and South Iraq receive about 8 inches rain a year, just slightly more than El Paso Texas.This is a view of part of the ring road around our compound. To the right is the main building with engineering offices for the four main sectors of reconstruction: oil, electricity, water/sewer and health/facilities/transportation/communication. To the right is the housing area with sea containers stacked and divided in half. Currently I am living in one half of a trailer. This area also has our laundry, mail and vehicle facilities.

Just got a call from Bob Bevill in New Hampshire who is flying out to meet with former Presidential candidate Duncan Hunter to discuss the Al-Hanan orphanage (northern Baghdad) where troops found 24 autistic little boys chained to beds. We learned last week that 2 of the boys have died from cholera. Bevill and Hunter are working on getting these kids to the U.S. and I believe have worked out arrangements for their care upon their arrival. If Vince can be of assistance in this effort, please pass this info along to him. Thanks. Carolyn
