Reflections of our time in Haiti

As we celebrated Thanksgiving we were reminded of all the things that we are so thankful for....our children, grandchildren and those that God has placed in our lives. We continue to reflect on our time in Haiti......those that were hungry, those who needed desperate medical attention, children with no shoes, some no clothes, and many that were not attending school. That is why we left the shoes that we had brought with us with the principal who will be able to give them to those who need them in order to go to school.

We were told about a woman who's husband borrowed money and he went off to the Dominican to get a job. The men to whom he owed the money came and locked up the wife and her 6 children in their tiny little home, in that unbearable heat, but someone went and got them out and we were able to send some rice over to the family. I sat next to an 10 year old girl and she showed me some blood on her shirt up by her shoulders, as she pulled her shirt off her shoulder I saw 2 "holes" in her shoulder where she had been beaten. My heart sank for that precious girl and prayed for her that God would protect her and get her out of that place. Her parents had died and was left with an aunt & family. The principal of the school was given money to take her to a clinic. We saw some children and adults that were so thin and one little girl who suffered with malnutrition.....as are many others.

We will continue to do what God has called us to do in Haiti and that is feeding the hungry and putting shoes on as many as we can. Our greatest need right now is to get the shoes that we have here to Haiti. We will try to ship them or get them there by any means possible. If you could help with the cost of shipping.....that would be greatly appreciated. God bless you!
