HUNGER IS A REALITY

IF YOU HAVE SEEN THE NEWS THIS WEEK, THEN YOU KNOW THE SITUATION THAT IS TAKING PLACE IN THE NATION OF HAITI. FOOD PRICES HAVE JUMPED SOME 40% IN THE PAST FEW WEEKS. STAPLE ITEMS OF RICE AND BEANS ARE NEARLY DOUBLED.

MOST OF HAITI’S POPULATION LIVES ON $1 – $2 DOLLARS A DAY. MOTHERS ARE FRANTIC TO GET ENOUGH RICE TO FEED FOR THEIR BABIES FOR ONE DAY. MANY CHILDREN ARE GOING TO BED HUNGRY EVERY NIGHT. STREET VENDORS ARE SELLING A SUGAR COATED CLAY COOKIE THAT KIDS CAN SUCK ON TO EASE THE HUNGER PAIN. SEE PICTURE) SAD PART IS ONCE IT ENTERS INTO THE STOMACH IT SOLIDIFYIES BACK TO CLAY AND CAUSES PAINFUL AND SOMETIMES DEATH, BLOCKAGE OF THE INTESTINE TRACT. MOST OF THE TIME IF THIS IS USED OFTEN ENOUGH, SURGERY IS REQUIRED TO REMOVE IT. MOST CHILDREN CANNOT AFFORD THIS AND MANY DIE A PAINFUL DEATH. WE HAVE SEEN CHILDREN EATING TWIGS. TREE BARK, ROOTS AND MANY OTHER THINGS TO TRY AND SURVIVE.

CHILDREN’S CARE OUTREACH HAS BEEN WORKING IN HAITI FOR SOME 15 YEARS AND HAVE ENCOUNTERED MANY SAD THINGS.

WE ARE CURRENTLY WORKING WITH OTHER MINISTRIES IN HAITI FEEDING OVER 4000 CHILDREN A DAY. WE ARE WORKING ON A 2 STORY MEDICAL CLINIC BUILDING TO BRING HEALING TO MANY CHILDREN AND ADULTS.
