Haiti Day Three - From the Road

Our final day on the road was marked by contrast. After the orphanage, we visited Cite Soleil, one of the worst slums in the Western Hemisphere. Yet, in the midst of this slum, FFP has created an oasis with a school for the local children, and vocational training for their mothers and the women of the community. Additionally, FFP is providing housing for many of the poorest and elderly. We had the privilege of participating in the presentation of keys to new homes for three families. They were able to move from tin and scrap metal hovels to FFP homes on strong foundations. After leaving Cite Soleil, we all participated in FFP's feeding program, which feeds 15,000 meals a day.
