What a great week. Last Monday started with a 6 member team from NY. This group had put together 240 - 5 gallon buckets full of food (rice, beans, flour, sugar,oil, spaghetti, peanut butter, etc. ) and trucked them to Nashville,TN. last June. We put them on a container we were shipping in and the group came to give them out. What a blessing to so many families. I know the team thought it was worth all the effort they put into this project when they saw the faces of the recipients. The team also sorted and bagged around 100 family bags of clothing for us to give out. These bags of clothes will go to the mountain area where the need is great. So much of the relief effort is consentrated in the tent cities.
This team left on Thursday morning and two of our granddaughters with two of their friends arrived Thursday afternoon. This was a blessing as it was Christy's third trip down this year and Mary K's first. The ladies with them were with an organization called Blessings in a backpack. They were here to encourage an NBA player and his foundation to get involved with Haiti. It was fun to see the faces of everyone as they greeted these "big" men.
