HI, Friends

i have to make you aware of what is happening or what is going to happen this June in our community. it is a shame to my fellow brothers and sisters, moms and dads, boys and girls and i. June is not a month that we enjoy in our community but mainly because of poverty that is striking of our community, it gets cold so bad and what we have to use to get warm is coals but also that is not the solution to defeat the coldness but is only for a short space of time. imagine the poor in a shack this June no real comfortable blanket and no money to buy coal, last year trees has been chopped down because of this kind of situation people want the wood to warm them self up. Families are dying every year because of coals, and this is how they died: they didn't have real stoves and they used the home made stoves called Mbawula, and there was no problem using it but the problem is when they decided to sleep with it inside their shacks. Falling asleep while the Mbawula is still inside is dangerous because they inhaled the smoke or gas coming from coal that blocks the oxygen.

My family was also affected by Mbawula but likely we survived death trough the grace of God. We are living dangerous and the problem is that people who are selling coals are just doing business, they don't warn or advise their customers how dangerous it is. and how to use it. To all my friends who are at the same situation we are, also because of lack of electricity around please take care and be safe this winter.

I am writing this deep from my heart because i know what we are going to face and nothing is interesting about this.
