What Does It Mean When A Pandemic Hits A Country Already In Need

ByTim Nolte

As I ran another 5 miles this morning I couldn’t help but think about the added struggle is now causing in Sierra Leone. I don’t think anyone complaining about the U.S. hardships has even thought about the fact that we still have it pretty good compared to places like Sierra Leone. With all of our indoor plumbing we don’t have to think about travelling 2 miles to a crowded well to gather water.

A country like Sierra Leone is between a rock and a hard place when any epidemic hits. How can anyone survive a stay-at-home order if they don’t have water at home for both drinking and sanitation. The only hope they have is organizations like World Hope, and other NGOs, trying to help people in the safest way they can. If the water supply issue was completely taken care of in countries like Sierra Leone they would be much better positioned to fight against COVID-19.

    Every day most of us, in the U.S. especially, have a dozen choices we can make. I had the choice to either get up at 4:30 am and run or stay in bed and sleep. Not to minimize those that do have some tough decisions to make, but in the big picture most of us…

    Tackling The Ice Mounds, An Endurance Test

    ByTim Nolte
    It was a tough go of it this morning tackling the ice mounds left behind by the snow plows. Winter running is not the time to be working on speed that is for sure. Many times I had to take to running on the snow covered grassy areas in order not to trip and fall….
