"For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat…" Matthew 25:35 (NIV) Thank you to everyone who donated money to our hunger relief project for Pointe Sable. You followed Jesus’ teaching quite literally. Over $2000 was raised. A small team of our knowledgeable Haitian partners used the money to compile food kits for 50 families. Each kit contained rice, beans, oil, pasta, sugar and flour. They were able to transport the kits efficiently and at minimal expense. They were delivered on Sunday, August 23. Some families told our partner Pastor Seraphin that they had recently gone three days with no food.
Looking ahead, we have plans to help the villagers improve their lives. We would like to help them rebuild their school, this time away from the damaging sea. They already have a parcel of elevated land and some stones for building material. Education is key to a brighter future for Haiti. Point Sable needs a new water system. Outhouses need repair. With your support, we could help them have better sanitation and more reliable sources for food and water.
