Progress<\/b><\/h3>\n

The doctor Vania Pettersen is participating for the second time in the Roraima Mission and conducted attendance and nourishing baths. The first time, about a year ago, she found a very different situation from the current one:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI observed a very great difference in the organization and in the conditions of lodging. In the first time, they lived in the streets, sleeping on the floor, and stayed with the children in the streets under the hot sun. But not this time, when they are lodged in the shelter with hammocks and tents. There are two points of water where the women gather to wash clothes and the children play and take showers.<\/span><\/p>\n
