of Haiti


hi all, i have just caught up with a friend of mine who has returned from a compassion post in Haiti...(Dominican Republic), very eye opening pictures to see.....and story to hear....Haiti there is 70% unemployment with 80% poverty...the fortunate one who have jobs work for a mere 44cents a day ....they live in cardboard and tin structures and it is not unusual for a family to have in excess of six ....whom they feed a substance called "pica" made of yellow dirt salt and shortening then baked into cookies ..this pics takes the moisture out of your mouth and has an extremely foul taste ..(according to my friend)...to top it of this ics is sold at the rate of $5.00 for 100 ccookies...sad isn't it ...compassion seeks people to sponsor at a rate of $44.00 per month...doesn't sound like much when you compare it to the richness of what we have in this country, i am not asking for anything but for the christian community to be aware of such things that are going on in what seems a different world than that we live in ...praise the Lord

If God brings you to it, He will bring you through it.

    Quoting kywong:
    Hi I used to have a Compassion sponsor child in Haiti, but she moved to another area and I wasn't able to continue to help her. But now my sponsor child is in the Dominican Republic and he is doing so well, I just love what Compassion do.
hi Kay ...it s truley a wonderful blessing to have compassion working with these families GB

If God brings you to it, He will bring you through it.

One thing I have desired of the Lord, that will I seek:
That I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life,
to behold the beauty of the Lord,
and to inquire in His temple. Psalm 27:4
