Report from the field: Nikki Rivera on Haiti

November 22, 2021April 24, 2012 Megan

 

April 17:

I am in love with the people of Haiti. They have stolen my heart. I feel so loved:  The children just smother you with kisses and hugs. They also love stroking your hair. I am truly moved.  Just To recap:  We visited schools today, the feeding centers, our warehouse and the mountainside to see how we can help them. It has been such a surreal experience, and I feel so honored to have this opportunity.

April 18:

Another beautiful day 🙂 We visited Olivier village, planted some trees, checked out the homes that we built for several poor families, prayed with elders and then we visited a school and distributed plenty of toys , bubbles and laughter. I wish I could do this every day of my life. I am truly loving this journey.

April 20:

Today was my final day in Haiti.  🙁  It’s bittersweet. We came we saw and we conquered. This was a life changing experience, and I wish I could stay longer. I truly met some amazing FFP staff and strangers.  I feel so fulfilled. Recap: Today we visited the Journey of Hope Village (homes for the people of Cite Soleil), the handicap home and the orphanage.

*ANIMAL HUSBANDRY: Food For The Poor has ongoing animal husbandry and apiary programs that support impoverished families and communities. The funds that are raised from animals and bees in this catalog are used to support the aforementioned programs.

**HOUSING: Because of the size and need of the average family, for $9,800, we build all houses with two bedrooms and a living area, sanitation and a water component, a cooking area, a sink, furnishings, lighting and structural elements to withstand severe weather conditions. You will receive a Certificate of Appreciation with a photograph of the family in front of their secure and comfortable home.
