Volunteers at Risk

Filed under: Houston — Administrator @ 10:32 pm

On Saturday night Caroline worked late with Fay, 25 years old, to continue work on the database for the lost & found. Fay wandered off and she was in an area that was sparsely populated and a young man accosted her. She screamed and the young man ran away and the police then came. So it is very dangerous to be in this place, particularly when the lights are dim and in the sparsely populated concourses and areas. We’ve warned all the Family International volunteers to make sure to go 2 by 2 and to be aware that there is a lot of risk. There were a lot of gang members in the Superdome, so there are some gang members in the crowd here as well. Thank you for your prayers for the safety of our volunteers.
