getting worse (more videos)"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>In spite of the fact that there hasn&#8217;t been any rain in the last few days, in some areas the flooding actually seems to be getting worse. &nbsp;This is because water is still pouring out of the sewage canal. &nbsp;As our co-worker Rod put it, can you imagine sewage water in your refrigerator, your stove, your pantry?<\/p>\n<p>Of course, if the water has gone down in your area, your fridge and stove may have been bulldozed out of the way, in an attempt to clean the streets. &nbsp;The filth is a huge problem, made worse by the fact that people don&#8217;t have enough clean water.<\/p>\n<p>The good news is, you can help! &nbsp;Our mission has set up a specific project for the disaster relief. &nbsp;Here&#8217;s what you can do&#8230;<\/p>\n<h3>To help flood victims<\/h3>\n<p>You can send a donation either to <b>CAM International<\/b> (in the USA) or <b>CAM International of Canada<\/b>. &nbsp;Make a note with your donation that it&#8217;s for Project <b>#062250<\/b>. &nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/cottrillcompass.com\/donate.html\">For information on how to donate, click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Next, please <b><a href=\"https:\/\/cottrillcompass.com\/contact.html\">let us know<\/a><\/b> that you&#8217;ve donated.&nbsp; Then we&#8217;ll be able to buy what we need right away, rather than waiting for your actual cheque to go through the system.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;re already collecting items for our neighbours who have lost everything in this flood. &nbsp;There&#8217;s also <a href=\"http:\/\/ixtapalucafryed.blogspot.com\/2010\/02\/giving-disaster-relief-via-cam-intl.html\">talk of setting up a kind of a soup kitchen<\/a> to serve breakfast to people.<\/p>\n<p>Even a few dollars would provide something &#8211; some clean water, a meal, etc.<\/p>\n<h3>More updates<\/h3>\n<p>Here are some more videos so you can see the current extent of the flooding here. &nbsp;They&#8217;re in Spanish, but they still give you an idea even if you don&#8217;t understand the language.<\/p>\n<p>But to give you an overview &#8211; people are concerned about disease with the lack of clean water. &nbsp;If they have anything left, they&#8217;re concerned about looting, and so many have gone back to their houses, in spite of the growing danger from the sewage.<\/p>\n<p><b>Recent news coverage:<\/b><\/p>\n<p><center><object width=\"480\" height=\"295\"><param name=\"movie\"
