Feeding the starving prisoners

No other time in the History of Haiti has there been such a famine for food. The roads being blocked, the ports being closed, along with heavily armed gangs controlling the country have contributed to creating the perfect storm of suffering for the Haitian people.

Today the Love A Child crew in Anse-à-Veau returned to the prison to feed the famished prisoners before they die of starvation, as many have throughout the county the last few weeks. Because of the lack of supplies, Hubert and the rest of the Love A Child team prepared a vitamin-rich soup with root plants and green vegetables from their personal gardens. God bless Hubert’s wife and her lady friends for working so hard on this delicious meal for the prisoners.

I want to thank our friends for your support. Three days ago, the office in Fort Myers wired $31,200 to a company in South Haiti which sells rice, beans, and cooking oil. Hurbert will be picking up this food all weekend.

Praying we can get there in the next few days to help distribute the food to many villages. The main road is blocked by gangs, and so far, we can’t find a helicopter. Thank you, Hubert and team, for working so hard distributing food and working on the Gabion houses…
