A Haitian Creole Proverb tells us, "Those who share their food, never eat alone..." Today, it is all about "sharing," and not being selfish with what God has blessed us with.

I will never forget the first time I saw Mackenson in his father's arms. It was in the village of Covant, Haiti, (Bel Fontaine) high in the mountains. I thought Mackenson was about 14 or 15-months-old. I was shocked when I heard he was seven! Due to Kwashiorkor Malnutrition, his arms and legs were swollen and had begun...
