Wow! What a day this was.
We headed back to Saut- Matherine where we passed out the tarps. We had our bags of food disguised very well. As we approached the village several people stopped us and said do not go down because the people where fighting. Man I get it, these people are desperate with no shelter or food.
We decided to go back to several villages up the mountain that we passed through on the day of the tarp distribution. Once there, Harry gathered the people and told them what we were here for. His loving calm spirit calmed the crowd. Both villages received us and no trouble was made. We start with the elderly, then mothers with small children. From there it’s survival for the fittest. It went amazingly well. I have been on the other side where the people rushed us and we had to get the heck out of there quickly. Not a good feeling. That’s why food distribution is never a priority to me. My mission is to do things that is transferable to the people I work with. But this situation is an exception. All in all a great day.
What is really needed is tents and tarps and a lot of both. When I get back to Port I will see what the availability for tents are. To date we have distributed 66 tarps and 190 bags of food. When we got back to camp the rain and wind started due to some sort of tropical system. Just what this place needs. Praise God From Whom All Blessings Flow.
