Tree Falls on YWAM Panama Building
On the morning of Sunday January 26 a huge tree fell on the YWAM Panama bath house, destroying most of the roof, as well as part of the roof of their aquaponics system. Thankfully no one was hurt, but the damage and work involved in getting it cleaned up is extensive.
The loss of the bath house is a major inconvenience for the people on the centre, as I’m sure you can imagine, and it also has created a safety hazard as the clean up process starts.
You can check out photos of the damage and find out how you can help on the YWAM Panama Facebook page.
