Two days ago, we distributed small cans of rice to the families in LaSikri. Today people are again sitting and waiting hoping relief supplies will come soon. They’ve heard that some places about 30 minutes away on the main road are receiving some small items but not food.
The people are hungry in Lasikri and getting desperate. But, Enel has a friend in MoneyGram who will make sure he gets a money transfer from me in the morning. I have asked Enel to give the 60 families in the village a meal tomorrow. It will cost $300 to feed the 60 families in the locality. That will leave us with $600 from your generous donations to help the community survive until more help comes. Tough decisions.
Please spread the word that we are accepting funds for Haiti. We have this depo above for the nursery that is still standing and secure. We can store beans and rice there. We have great leaders who can manage its distribution and start creating work teams that can use food for pay to start cleaning up the rubble and help find people’s belongings.
