Food & Water day!
We started the day at Fleri Farms, where Healing Haiti is
helping to create a more sustainable future for agriculture in this
country. It was fascinating to learn
about their struggles with the soil, and learning how to grow crops the way
their land was created. We were able to
drink from coconuts & eat the flesh of the fruit.
The first and second water truck stops were relatively calm due
to the rain the night before. Still many
showed up to fill their buckets. The
final stop, called 4 coffins, was much more active, with Haitians coming from
every direction to get their fill of water.
The children were smiling, running to be held and played with, and
unphased by their surroundings.
We also got the chance to see Hope church, school and soon-to-open
clinic. We were all impressed with the
new pods delivered to the school a few weeks ago – technology, sewing, and
solar power – that will help the children expand their knowledge and give them
hope for a brighter future that God has in store for them.
We are grateful and humbled to be here together! God is good!
