bed bugs

[Guest guest]

Iequality group

I do mission work in the country of Nicaragua.  I

just go this email from a missionary asking for the board of NPMI (Nicaragua

Prison Ministries Inc.) that I serve on for help.  The reason for forwarding

this to the group is to ask is there anything that can be done about this other

than replacing the mattresses or is this going to be expected in the hot humid

environment?

Please help me by responding quickly.

Thank you to the respondents in advanced.

 I

received this today at the end of about 4 e-mail exchanges about “bed bugs” in La Esperanza. The

government is trying but they believe they need to destroy all the mattressess

at La Esperanza to eliminate the problem.

Estimado :

Consulte con la Alcaide Modesta,

Directora de la Prisión La Esperanza, ella me informo que el costo de la compra

de colchones para las privadas de libertad es de cuarenta y seis mil córdobas

(46,000), lo cual al cambio actual del dólar equivale aproximadamente a Dos Mil

quinientos dólares ($ 2,500).

Saludos.

Dr. Vila.

In short, the prison system is asking us to help

raise $2500 to replace all the mattresses at La Esperanza. Unfortunately,

due to overcrowding. The mattresses they recieved on the containers can

not be used on the very narrow bunk beds in overcrowded conditions.

I would like to ask the board to consider a

motion to assist the prison system with the mattresses to the extent we recieve

donations designated for that purpose. I know one donor who has

expressed an interest but I do not know what size of donation they are able to

make.
