Rice and Beans is the staple here. Crops grow fairly well here, it's the storms that take them away. With little to hold the water back from running down the mountain during the rainy season many crops fall victim to soil erosion. There is little chance then to resupply and few have the means to purchase additional. Donations are helping to bring hope and removing at least some of the malnutrition that comes with the shortage of food. Many have already donated water filters and with the river nearby and springs it has helped to cut down on water borne "stuff".
If you would like to help with supplying a bag of rice (about $70.00) or beans or cooking oil please let us know. A little goes a long way here. People find it hard to believe but your donations do make it where you intend. The overhead normally found is already being covered outside of any donations that are made out to Hope for Haiti. Ask us for additional information. www.hopeforhaiti.ws
"A farmer went out to sow his seed. As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path, and the birds came and ate it up. Some fell on rocky places, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly, because the soil was shallow. But when the sun came up, the plants were scorched, and they withered because they had no root. Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the plants. Still other seed fell on good soil, where it produced a crop - a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown. He who has ears, let him hear." Matthew 13:3b-9
