Current Haiti update:
As you know we have been held up in Fort Lauderdale, FL waiting for the signature from a high official in the Haitian government for our private plane to land with us in Haiti. (We heard today that the official had been sick). The Port-au-Prince airport has been closed to all international travel. We are delaying the tilapia and rice distribution now until Thursday or Friday.
Please pray about giving and being part of the Tilapia fish and rice distribution helping the people of Haiti, especially the children.
Due to political unrest, Covid-19 is spreading rapidly, and the value of the Haitian Gourde to the American Dollar is out of control. The prices of anything and everything is out of sight. Haitian family members back in the U.S. used to send a huge amount of cash back into Haiti each week to help their family members. Since so many Haitians have lost their jobs in America, due to Covid-19, about 80% of the cash has stopped coming into Haiti. Haiti has been devastated and is in a severe economic and food crisis. Our hearts have been torn out.
We can buy the fish at rock bottom prices now because the fish company, which is a sustainability ministry, is having a hard time feeding the fish, as well as having other problems. No one has any money.
Please pray this morning about being part of this, especially for the children. Please call the office today and give by credit card or online at www.loveachild.com. We are very short on finances and need to do this together. The Love A Child office number in Florida is 239-210-6107.
Love is something you do…
