This 13-year-old mentally handicapped child is from the village of Merger. When her mother brought her child for the first time she only weighed 20 pounds. The mother has been coming here every week for some Feed My Starving Children rice meal packages. In one month's time she has gained 5 pounds and she now weighs 25 pounds. She still has a lot of catching up to do but hopefully this forward progression in weight will continue. We give the Lord thanks that we have food to share with those in need.
One day Benson came home from school to change out of his school uniform. He put this outfit on. I told him that it was too early to go to bed. Notice the long sleeves. It definitely was not a cool day here in Haiti. He liked the colors!
This is "Gus" my pet gecko. In the early evenings he usually climbs up the wall hunting for mosquitoes. There is a nice view of the Rideau Canal in winter in the background.
I call the Coram Deo home a flophouse because we live quite humbly here. The cushions were ripped a long time ago and we make do with what we have. I told my parents that if they want to sit down on something other than a bench that they would need to make new cushions.
The furniture is very solid!
