This was the Chaldean quarter of one town, most of the men have been refused jobs because their cultural background isn’t from the majority. They sat with one elder within the community who was involved in agriculture, he had planted two experimental orchards introducing new varieties of apples and other fruits to the region. One of the things he spoke to often was water conservation, but it was never taken seriously. Today, we are seeing some devastating effects in this region as a result of climate change and lack of conservation. Local officials are now sounding the alarms that the water reserves have halved since last year as a result of drought and declining water tables.
The local wheat production here alone is expected to diminish by up to 70% because of the ongoing drought. Additionally, on the way home from the village, what used to be an informal IDP camp in an unfinished building was spotted. At the height of the crisis more than 20 families were crammed into the single story structure without walls. It had been some time since the International Partner was last there and there was just one family remaining; the others had immigrated, returned to homelands or assimilated into other camps. They remembered the Partner fondly and insisted that the church was the only ones who ever helped them. In all this time they had not been visited by a governmental agency, an NGO or other church.
