Fritz was able to pick up 487 boxes of rice meals as well as 200 cans of sweet corn from Pastor John in Port au Prince. The meals came from our partner, Orphan Grain Train in Norfolk, Nebraska. The sweet corn came in 1# cans. Corn is a favorite in Haiti and for those fortunate enough to have something to eat for breakfast, sweet corn is a treat. Most families eat one meal each day and that is in the evening.

Helping Hands for Haiti is so thankful that Orphan Grain Train was able to ship several containers to Haiti in February and March. We are hoping to ship 2,000 solar lamps and 400 pairs of shoes for the school children through Orphan Grain Train for the September school year. Thank you Hanna Freudenburg and Orphan Grain Train!
While Haiti has less than 100 cases of Coronavirus, the situation affects many of the Haitians causing a disruption of markets and an increase in food prices for a population that consistently struggles with hunger and malnutrition. With your help, and the help of our many partners, Helping Hands for Haiti is able to provide food for immediate relief as we work in communities to implement long term economic relief.
