Dieu merci

Our work in Haiti has been ongoing for the past twelve years. We have seen and responded to far too many natural disasters in this impoverished and battered nation. None, however, has matched the scope of the recent earthquake.

We will continue to work in Haiti, reaching out to meet the most basic needs of our family in the poorest nation in the Western hemisphere. The tragedy has never been more heart-wrenching and the need has never beeen greater.

The following exceprt from a Skype conversation between two of our partners is a good illustration of the impact our high protein meals are making. Blanchard is a school near Citi Soleil where Stop Hunger Now has been working for the past three years to feed the primary school students.

MOH [Mission of Hope] has been coming to Blanchard with more food (100 SHN boxes each day) and a med team. So, in addition to the 31,000 meals passed out on Sunday, 2 days of 100 boxes = 36 x 200 x 6 = 43,200 meals. Dieu merci for SHN and the partnership we have had – it is a Godsend for the Haitians.

On behalf of the thousands of Haitian earthquake survivors who have food because you cared enough to package meals, I offer you my sincere and humble thanks. Working together we are saving lives. Working together we are providing hope. Working together we are healing our broken world and reaching toward a world without hunger. Dieu merci for each of you.
