Really Cool Update

One of our elders, Dr. Tim, went to Haiti recently with another doctor from our church. He saw some of the Feed My Starving Children packs, just like the ones we made. Who knows? Maybe they were packed by some of us. Here's his note:

Chris,
Last week Marc Manley and I were in Haiti.  We were with Samaritan's Purse and got to see what they were doing especially from a medical standpoint.

We learned a lot.

Dr. Kara Gibson the SP medical director for Haiti was our host.  One afternoon after the Cite Soleil clinic she took us to an orphanage where a Haitian pastor had 35 orphans living in his small home.  His orphanage in PAP had been completely destroyed by the quake.

He showed us the only food he had to feed them which was Mannapacks from Feed my starving Children.

Who knows? Maybe some of these had been packed at Southland last year.  I just thought it was awesome to find these meals in a Haiti orphanage (a place that definitely needs them).
