An update from Haiti:

Things here in Haiti are getting back to “normal” after several days of rioting. The people have been angry at the high gas prices, rising up to 50% more, which puts more stress on the poor. But today, it is seemingly quiet, and we believe things will be better tomorrow.

Meanwhile, the poorest of the poor suffer from no jobs, a lack of food, and the “high price of food” that has been compounded by very little rain. Some of our Haitian workers found these little children in the mountains of Mon Deral. The child (about age 6) was trying to cook by putting a pot into a hole in the ground. There was nothing much in the pot… These conditions are growing worse every day, and looking into the eyes of these hungry children is more than we can stand. This is what “hurts the heart of God.” – Sherry
