Hearing sad and disheartening news out of Haiti today - as some of our loan recipients are waiting to receive their loan and waiting for the marketplace to open they are resorting to selling themselves in order to take care of their children. She is pregnant with her NINTH child. And here's another 'unfair' thing - birth control is too expensive for the very people who need it. Really? What kind of a world is this? I just wish I could say, "Hold on ladies, help is on the way!" but I cant even imagine what they are going through. And one more disheartening story coming out of the D.R. - at my meeting I had this week the man was telling me when he was in the D.R. last week that his colleague was approached by a woman and said she would sleep with him if he would buy her children's school uniforms.
Come on God, we need all these loans to be funded. We have an entire region of Haiti that desperately needs to know you care, you are there for them and you will provide.
