We received a gift from the local Rotary clubs while I was in Haiti... this truck will be a huge help for us to pick up supplies, cloths, food, blankets and all the articles people are donating to our schools in Haiti... Thank you so much to the Rotary in Medicine Hat.....The rains in Haiti have brought more challenges in an already overwhelming situation for the precious people of Haiti... even before I left for Canada there were many people sick with malaria...... now the rains will add to the challenge... when I look at the big picture it looks so overwhelming but we must remember that we are making a difference... even if it is only one child at a time... thank you for being their to help financially and with our prayers.... we have some huge challenges coming up .... we must not forget about Haiti....
I leave for Haiti on the 15th arriving on the 16th with a team of 12 from the Coastal Church, Vancouver... they will be taking a week to help the Pastor's and others.... this is so needed... bringing them in from all parts of the country and feeding them not only physically but spiritually... Thank you Coastal Church for being there.... Pastor Chad will be arriving from Urban Refuge Church on the 17th and I believe with another friend... we will be scouting for facilities to store food to help many organization in Haiti... this is with the connection with Kids Against Hunger... we will be scouting out the Leogane area or something near there for a central location for the south of Haiti... we are looking at having possibly 15,000,000 meals coming in for relief.....
I will then be returning back to Canada on the 8th of Apr... there have been so many teams that are looking to come down to help... I would encourage you to wait till the end of Sept. or Oct.. the rainy season give such extra challenges that re construction is very difficult at that time and the disease situation will make it very dangerous for your health.. I just feel to wait if you can...
I can arrange things for you and contacts if there are those that must go... let me know....
Thank you to all that have sacrificed to help the people of Haiti.. we have a long road ahead but I want you to know that your support is making a difference...
God bless you... Bob & Linda
