Today I went to Pastor Luc's church in Foche, which is about 20 minutes east of our compound in Grande Goave. It was a sobering drive there - this is what is left of a large banana field right on the main highway... the bananas used to grow right up to the road.
Once we reached the church I was happy to see that they had banded together to patch up the building and they were worshiping loudly as we drove up.
After the service the Pastors distributed MannaPacks to the congregation, and those living near the church. Most people received enough to feed their family for a couple of weeks. Although things in our area are much better than most communities south of us there is a real food shortage and people are terrified of it getting worse. Prices are skyrocketing in the local markets and there are slim pickings for fresh produce. The people were very happy to receive the MannaPacks.
I want to take this opportunity to say THANK YOU to everyone who has donated hurricane relief money to H2H - the people of Foche are very grateful for your generosity!
