We have some great pictures for you today! Our photographer, Dieuferly, grabbed some pictures of our Haitian children from our orphanage, who were working hard! It is “super hot” in the warehouse, packing this amount of food! This will be the “third food distribution” for Ganthier families.
This food is going to “2,000 hungry families” who fled the town of Ganthier, just about 11 miles up the road from us. They all fled to Fond Parisien and have been “sleeping under trees,” in the “road paths,” in school buildings, and anywhere they can find.
The main problem has been hunger!
The people from Fond Parisien have just enough food to barely feed their families… So, this is the third feeding for the families from Ganthier, who have been run out of their homes by the gangs.
Each time we do a “food giveaway,” it is always for at least 500 families (each family can have from four people to ten people in a family, but they may have extended family members).
This will be the third “food giveaway.” Our Love A Child children have worked hard in the depot, packing food supplies in plastic bags.
Each family receives lots of spaghetti, noodles, rice, fish, spices, beans, corn meal, sugar, beans, and several other items. It is enough to fill two large sacks!!
We buy the food items locally here in Fond Parisien, which has cost us $40,000 U.S. each time to give these large food sacks to the poor. It is enough food to last for two weeks.
The sad thing is that there will be 500 more families who are still waiting on a “food ticket!”
This would be the last feeding for Ganthier. To buy all this food for each “set of 500 families” costs us $40,000. If you would like to help in continuing our food programs into the future, please contact our office at 239-210-6107 or give online by clicking this link: https://loveachild.com/?form=FUNQJVVXGFN. If your gift is small, God will multiply it!!
Thank you, everyone, for your love, your prayers, and your support for the poor in Haiti.
