Most of the areas in Haiti are experiencing a drought. Many people need to walk a great distance to find a spring or well that still gives water. Even when the wells still have water, it doesn’t come fast and sometimes the wait time is more than two hours to fill the jugs. Sometimes, they …
Oftentimes, it’s really hard to know when to say yes or no to the requests for help. In the zones that we work in and everywhere else, the requests for food come flooding in and it’s our biggest challenge to assess the needs and distribute the food to the people that need it the most. …
