This is Jesse Ostrander in the yellow hat in Lasile, near the Nippes area. He arrived yesterday with a small team and today, he and the team have been distributing rice, beans, cooking oil, and milk. We have split our teams so we could work in two areas at one time. Jesse said, “The need...
Good news for tents! Update on the housing needs caused by the earthquake: Praise the Lord—we have had an anonymous donor offer to purchase two family-size tents for every one purchased by other donors!

He must travel through a very dangerous area. He will be taking a 5 to 6-hour drive tomorrow to deliver our rice for distribution. Thank...
