During this period, $180 was donated to Abba's House Children's Center in Cienfuegos, Dominican Republic. The donee stipulated that the funds be utilized to help feed the children attending the center. Therefore the director, Jose Rodriguez, purchased supplemental fresh fruits and vegetables from local farmers (who bring their produce to the Center in the backs of their trucks) to augment the diets of the children. These items included plantain, oranges, cabbage, yams, and mangoes. Also purchased were salami, oat milk, rice, and beans. The children enjoy three whole meals a day at the children's center, prepared and cooked fresh onsite in the center's kitchen by local women who live in the Cienfuegos village. A typical lunch meal might include flatbread, rice, beans, salami, and oat milk.
Our children come to us in various ways. Sometimes orphans are found wandering the streets, hungry and with no shoes. They are brought to the children and we begin caring for them. Others walk over the border from Haiti - most also orphans.
We are thankful for any donations we receive as we care for so many children without parents, families, or homes. Thank you for giving!
