Isla Verde



This is Isla Verde, a small Muslim community right on the sea. The people mostly live in little shacks up on stilts, with an incredible labyrinth of bamboo poles for "streets". Under the houses is the black mucky filth you can see in the picture. These people just live in their garbage, and seem to be piled one on top of another. So many people in such small houses. Renee and I went with Jenn, one of the missionaries here, to do some baby checkups and postpartum checkups on new mothers. Jenn goes regularily and has developed some great relationships. It was a real blessing to go with her.
