The Old Man of the Sea

Hello friends

On Monday, after finally unloading from the barge and tug boat:

  • 140,000 lbs  seeds
  • 25,000 lbs of food
  • 17 tons of construction rebar
  • 5000 cement block
  • 2000 sacks of cement

We left Jeremie province  by land for a port au Prince

As we were in the small boat going from the barge to Damie Marie where our trucks were, Roseline interviewed myself, Nebez, Brett Jackson, to Mayou and some people of this hurricane devastated area.

The videos are heavy to upload, but here is mine. We will find a way to send the others.

Thanks for your support

God bless you

Fr Rick

A Reflection from Wilflo Fontus

In the summer of 2014, Wilflo Fontus was the victim of a violent attack that left him paralyzed from the waste down. Wilflo nearly lost his life that day and since then has faced down challenge after challenge with incredible strength, grace and faith. Wilflo is now the coordinator of social services at St. Luke's Hospital, a role he actively sought out and has embraced with full heart.

Now that the winds have died down...

"As we accompany our neighbors in rural Haiti, after the devastation of hurricane Matthew, it is clear that they are eager to replant their gardens, fix their roofs, replace their drowned livestock.
 
They are eager to give their children something to eat for today, and an education and skill that will make them independent tomorrow.
 
Unlike a shooting start that cannot be followed to any destination, or even admired for very long, the dream of the rural Haitian people is rather like the north star, a compass and guide, steady and clear."
