I just got off the phone with Kath again.
The conflict in Georgia is escalating. Kath and her fellow Peace Corps volunteers are still safe in the mountains, away from the conflict.
They are being evacuated to Armenia. Kath says that the hotel there will have internet access, so she will be able to get into contact with people via email in the next couple of days.
I let her know that everyone's thinking of her; she really appreciated it.
The networks in Georgia are badly tied up right now, so it's VERY hard to get calls through (I tried many times yesterday and today before finally reaching her). However, if one of you does want to try and reach her, you can email me for the number. You'll probably want to get a calling card (I got mine through alosmart.com) if you're going to try it. (I'm not sure how much longer she'll have that number; if it'll still work in Armenia. I didn't ask, but by then she'll hopefully be able to contact us by other means anyway.)
(Kath is really worried about her host family and the people she knows in Georgia. Understatement of the year. If you would pray, or just think good thoughts, or whatever you may do for people in difficult circumstances, well. That would be something, I think.)
