100 Little Children Fed Today

Today we were able to serve 100 Chilldren at School. We are so thankful for those who help us fund this project. It is such a blessing to all of us in the Fond Doux area to see these little Children being fed.

Believe it or not

Someone asked me the other day, "I see the amount of food being placed on little Children's plates." Knowing how American Children leave so much on their place they went on. "isn't that a waste of food?" One of the things that astounded me the most when I first begin feeding Children in Haiti was he amount placed on their plate. After observing this for the past 42 years I can truthfully say that I have never once seen any food left on any of their plates. Another thing that I have noticed that there are never any "leftovers." No, the little ones eat all that is on their plates and the bigger ones could eat more if they had it. There is never a waste of food in Haiti like there is in the U.S. . I could easily feed my entire household with the food that is left on the plates in just one of the restaurant in the U.S. One of the reason they eat everything that is on their plates is because they do not have any snacks and for many this is the only hot meal their will have for the day.

Worth Sharing.

It's a tough, but heartwarming story ..... with a picture of John Gebhardt in Iraq . John Gebhardt's wife, Mindy, said that this little girl's entire family was executed. The insurgents intended to execute the little girl also, and shot her in the head ... but they failed to kill her. She was cared for in John's hospital and is healing up, but continues to cry and moan. The nurses said John is the only one who seems to calm her down, so John has spent the last four nights holding her while they both slept in that chair. The girl is coming along with her healing. He is a real Star of the war, and represents what America is trying to do. James Gates U.. S. Navy

Club Saturday Sept. 26th. 2009

"Club Saturday" is what the kids call it. Every Saturday the Children gather to gather, play games, hear Bible Stories, and have a treat. They usually have bread and butter along with fresh juice. Sometimes, when we have it, they have peanut butter and bread. This is a special time for everyone.

School Feeding Sept. 25

Yesterday there were 96 Children who were fed in our "School Feeding Program." Here a girl is shown putting on the finishing touches. Feeding school Children is one of the greatest programs I know of. The older I get the more compassion and love I have for these little Children that cannot do it by themselves.

Hot Food today Septemberr 24, 2009

This picture is a blessing to all who know about our School Feeding Program. So many of the Children who come to school will not have a hot meal at home but here they have one. This picture was taken a few minutes ago as the Children received their hot meal. We were able to serve 84 Children today which makes a total of 8,052 Children that we have been able to feed so far this year. That does not include the Children in our home who are fed each day as well.
