Dear Robin,
You know that the last four hurricanes that hit Haiti put 50.000 families in the streets, in the northern area alone. What you certaily dont know is that, 3 months after the catastrophy, nothing has been done so far to help and there is no sign that something will be done soon.This is a big crisis because the living conditions have never been so bad for so many at the time. The rainy season just started. My recent visit to some areas like Shada, Ouanaminthe, Jacksyl Petite Anse has revealed that if nothing is done very quick, many young children wont survive. Food for the Poor remains the only Institution they can turn to in such occasions. When things are tough, there is no hope, they beleive that God can use His favorite instrument on earth, FFP, to reassure them of His caring and loving presence. That is why we wont stop. We remain focus. As a christmas gift, we want to shelter as many as we can. Thank you for letting the poor people know that they can always dream, the miracle is possible.Happy Thanksgiving to you and the entire Family of Food for the Poor.
God bless you.
