Magazine Elaina (that is her) or the general store in the central location of the village.  We have 7 in the town similar to this.  You can buy bread, candy, cookies, a few sausages and cheese a lot of liquor and a couple pieces of fruit. and they still let you buy on credit.

This is a new building that will house for 3 months the vulnerable. Much like the NUMAS house we have in New Ulm that allows a family to stay together, get some life skills, have a safe place to live and then go out on their own. It is an Austrian NGO  that is the donor with the local people working for it in all the capacitys.  Tom is working with the director as one of his community projects.
