The mayors of some of the towns up north have had it.  They’re divorcing the government.  And boy I don’t blame them.  They’ve been living all over the place – everywhere but home – for almost 11 months and no one is doing anything to make their situation even the tiniest bit easier.  At first we were donating clothes, household goods, books and stuff to give families of 5 or more living in one room some of the basic necessities.  But even that movement has slowed down. Money promised from the government has disappeared in the Minister of Finance’s offices.  Shelters promised to the schools before the school year never appeared, so thousands and thousands of kids will be missing their second year of school.  And the days of rockets don’t seem to end.    

I emptied my closet last year but even if someone is enjoying my stuff, I know they are wearing down and more stuff is needed.  But what they really need is normality – home, school, work, farms…  Will the broken homes ever be repaired?  Not if this government is in control.
