Today is our first day in the field. We went into Les Cayes to drive around the city to survey. Once inside the oldest part of town we felt that this was not where we need to be due to the fact that the major players were in place. We decided to head north to Camp Perrin to a town that was totally devastated by the 2016 hurricane Mathew. On arrival we saw much more damage here than Les Cayes. The natural thing for me was, if this town suffered this much, what do the small villages look like that are forsaken by the government. We headed over mountains and ravines where we saw total devastation. We ended up in a village called Saut-Matrime. It was here where we felt the need to stop. Harry organized the people and we handed out 48 tarps with the help of the mayor. God was surely with us as we all know desperate people can do desperate things. Tarps are a premium now and hard to get. Tomorrow we head back with food and water. Another adventure in the far away bush. Food distribution is not my gig but these people are very needy and they’ve lost everything. Praise God From Whom All Blessings Flow.
