It is hard for us to imagine in America, but inside of these straw huts, dwell families of ten, and sometimes twenty members! This is very common in Haiti, West Indies, the poorest country in our hemisphere. Here are the faces of some of the children that come running out of these huts to meet us in the local cinder block church. IF you would like to meet them...

We drive from village to village with a truckload of food. Sometimes, rice & beans, sometimes buckwheat or other foods. These village gatherings, ranging from groups of 100 to 2000 people at one time, consist of a portion of food for each person, as well as a short explanation of a Gospel scripture. It is a Lot of work to get and maintain good order with desperately starving people. We encounter all kinds of problems, but it is really worth it! On average, we feed 5,000 people each week. |

Hear the voices of these children as they run to receive their physical and spiritual food for the day! Some of them are so determined, they walk and run for miles. Some with no shoes, others with no clothes.
The Children love to sing "Jesus konen mwe la" which means "Jesus knows I'm here!"
|
One thing for sure, they are Very glad to see us! After praying together, they thankfully receive the food we brought for them! 'Merci Jesus' means 'thank you Jesus' |

The Children are thankful for their food!

This is the neighborhood gang. They run from village to village up and down mountain trails taking shortcuts to catch up with our truck to get extra bags of rice. They run up to us at every stop with the famous words 'pa jwen' which means... I didn't find any yet!
