Ladrones

3rd time this year. Ladrones. (robbers) They have stolen 3 computers from the school this year. One belonged to me. The other two came from the computer lab of the school. Those two were desktop computers - a bit more difficult to move. The Sister´s were discussing this at breakfast this morning, trying to narrow down who could have stolen them. The computers, while about $300 in the States, cost about $500 here. Everything electronic is more expensive here. And the people have so much less. Ridiculous.

It all boils down to keys: who had access, who could have copied them, who do the dogs know and so wouldn´t attack if they came in the night, etc. The Sister´s are talking about putting a surveillance camera in the computer lab. Good idea, though it will be pricey.

I asked why they don´t call the police. Corrupt police. They did call the police last year when a computer was stolen, and it resulted in nothing. Apparently they are corrupt and inefficient.

It´s frustrating to think that anyone would steal from Religious Sister´s or a school for poor children. However, the workers at the school, and the community around the school, have much less than the Sister´s, and suddenly the stealing isn´t so difficult to imagine. Still frustrating.

Just another reason why your donations are so important and needed. Don´t worry that your money will ever be spent frivolously here. Too many urgent needs to be met first.

A big Thank You to everyone who has already donated!
