Shoes 2 Share Post 1

Today was day one with the Shoes 2 Share team. The day started out with some of the team helping with the feeding in the canteen. One of the team members, Phyllis, was especially touched when one of the children offered her some food. Phyllis said no thank you and remembering she had some crackers in her pouch, pulled them out and shared them with the kids sitting nearby her. Phyllis then witnessed pure love when one child broke the cracker into pieces and shared it with her sister.

The team then ventured out for a tour of the village. The kids all took a hold of their hands and walked proudly with their new friends. The team was impressed seeing even the littlest of kids working and carrying buckets of water to their families, some of them even trekking up a hill.

After that we all went to Barbancourt where Blueridge Ministry was working on a newly dug well. Seeing water spring out of the ground caused so much excitement. This well will not only provide clean drinking water for our school children and kids who eat at our feeding center in Barbancourt, but it will provide clean water for the entire village. In day where cholera is spreading rampantly, it’s such a blessing to know people from the village will be provided with clean, safe drinking water.

All in all, the team had a great first day working in Haiti. Lifeline is so grateful to have Shoes 2 Share working with us this week and we’re looking forward to seeing how God moves!
