Just a quick update because my laptop is dead and I need to grab a shower before the tap/tap comes to take us back to the church for dinner. There's a wedding at the hotel tonight so I might not be able to be in the lobby/common area for the wi-fi access later....
Today we distributed the remaining Sponsor gifts, and then to the kids who aren't sponsored. Currently, Restore haiti/restoration ministries is feeding over 400 children daily, of which only approx 300 are sponsored. The rest are sponsored by the church until individual/family sponsors are found. After those 100 or so kids on the priority list, there's an additional 150 kids on the 'waiting' list... and then... *sigh* there are dozens, and dozens, and simply dozens of kids who aren't even on the waiting list yet. Sooo much need!
I was really inspired today, walking back to the church with one of the other team members, who is a lot younger than I am, says she sponsors (5) kids! Five! Wow... that just blew me away. Another girl, age 18, has a sponsor child her same age, they are practically in 'college' together!
After the gifts we had feeding program. Two batches of kids, over 200 in each shift. It was huge. Sooo much organized chaos. Can't wait to get to a better internet connection to load up the pics. We had the most amazing rice, and chicken legs... soooo good!
Anyway - laptop is dying, I need a shower, and I will update more as I can!
Love to all!
