Many things have happened since the previous entry. This past Sunday around 2:00 a.m. the alarms went off, telling us to head to the safe room. It is a room in the house with walls of about 30cm and a roof of 40cm of concrete. We heard later that a rocket was indeed headed for our area. It was shot down before it got here. There is a small military base just outside town; that might have been the target.
But life continues here. We work on the farms every day. Most farmers carry a machine gun and a revolver on them everywhere they go.
And at the close of the work activities they thank us profusely for helping them.
This morning I helped Golan to apply a cement layer in a new building at his home. And this afternoon I accompanied a fellow volunteer from Amsterdam who got sick five days ago and whose health is not restoring. So the days are always filled, whether with work or with helping others.
Yesterday Golan held a presentation in which he talked about the many herbs he grows on his farm and the health benefits their use have.
