The First Lady of Haiti Giving out the First Tent

Yesterday our team was in Lazile giving out tents. This area is one of the worst-hit areas from the earthquake. The truck left at daylight in the rain with 240 tents for the families of Lazile.

Hubert already had the location of where each tent would go, the name, and how many were in each family, etc. Each family had a red ticket to receive their tent.

The First Lady of Haiti heard from Joel that Love A child would be there giving out tents. She came and the TV stations crews were with her. She wanted to give out the first tent thanking Love A Child for what we are doing. She could not hold the tent in her hands because her right arm is totally paralyzed. She was shot 8 times by the assassins who shot and killed her husband President Jovenel.

Another lady, Madam Erita, and her little daughter received a tent. She was so thankful. She said her husband died 3 months ago, and she misses and thinks about him every day. She said if he was alive he would be cleaning up the rubble from their house which fell into rubbles. She was very touching… So many good stories yesterday of families receiving their tents.

This morning the truck left with more tents to travel into an area called Barade. Very far out into the interior… it is a long, hard drive. Hubert said in this area, every house fell.

Sherry, Jesse, and I, along with our Haitian team, will travel there tomorrow if we can get our second container of tents out of customs today. If not, we will travel there Thursday. Thank you for all your help and prayers. – Bobby
