Every Christmas little children in America are loaded down with more toys then they will ever use.
Here in Haiti there are no bought toys for many of the kids.
Children create toys out of old oil cans, sticks, old tires, plastic, bicycle rims, and whatever else they can find. But, today was like Christmas for some children in La Digue as they were blessed with their very own wooden toy cars.
The cars came from a very generous group of 70+ year old military veterans called the Ebbetts Pass Elves from California.
These kind and compassionate men make toys year round to ship overseas to children who would never have any.
Little did they know when they were hand carving them that they would bring such joy and happiness to the faces of these wonderful Haitian children. What a delight it was to see sheer enjoyment as they played with their new cars.
These young children have seen more pain and suffering in their days then people should see in an entire lifetime.
Praise the Lord for these little wooden cars!
