We plan to have our first "feeding clinic" this Sunday in the community of St.Rock. For those unaware of the term "Feeding Clinic", basically we will have a group of children, 175 exactly, that we will be feeding one meal weekly to begin with. We hope as time goes on that we will be able to increase the times per week we will be able to feed these children. We have purchased many tools and supplies all with money that has been donated. Again, thank you to those who have donated. We will also be sharing a message of hope with these children, as we feel it is as important to feed children spiritually as well as physically. We want these children to know they are loved and of supreme worth.
Buying the supplies was an experience. TJ, Roselie, and I hit the streets of Petionville and came home with 1 50 lb bag of rice, about 30 lbs of beans, 10 cloves of garlic, a tub of lard, a bag of salt, 25 bullion cubes, 6 packages of Salami, vinegar, 3 coconuts, 1 can tomato paste and assorted fresh herbs.
The Bishops wife and I were able to collect the supplies needed to cook and feed such a meal. 2 giant pots (don't you wish you had those in your home), 2 very big pots, 2 strainers, 2 serving spoons, 1 ladle, 1 knife and 1 pillion (what they use to mash herbs), 180 bowls and spoons, charcoal, 3 rechoud's (used to set the charcoal in to cook with).
Today we dropped all the supplies off to St.Rock. We are now in the process off trying to find cooks and set up our non-profit. It is all coming together and getting very exciting.
