Our mess tent has fallen apart! We have had it up since June 2008 and the sun has weakened the canvas cover (bought second hand many years ago). Over the past few weeks, we’ve had crazy winds in camp and it has just ripped the canvas cover apart! We desperately need a new one – it is our only source of shade in camp and with current temperatures rising to over 30 degrees celcius, we are all cowering under the little shade it is currently providing.
The photo below shows what the mess tent looked like in June 2008.
These photos below show Jeneria trying to put it together a few days ago.
The photos below were taken yesterday -Ricila was desperately trying to tie bits together… but now there is no hope. We need a new one!
A new mess tent canvas cover with poles which will be more sturdy than what we had before will cost approximately $250.
Please help us and make a donation towards a new mess tent!
