Great news from ground zero in Datam, India – the drought has finally broken and ‘it’s raining cats and dogs’!

It’s wonderful news for Datam and surrounds, and for TH as through our visits to India we’ve come to care greatly about all the beautiful people in Datam, so are so pleased to hear our friends are out of the danger the drought was posing….it also means the Oct trip should be a very fruitful one!

Due to very little rain around the Datom clinic, the closest river became desert. Now the cattles are suffering but in the peak of summer, the well and pond will be the same as the river. A huge water crisis is coming for this area soon.
