We have 2 containers of oats set to be shipped out of Vancouver on Feb. 2. That amounts to 52 tons of food or 3/4 million servings of food. The containers will travel through the Panama Canal and on to the Dominican Republic where someone from the H2H Board will receive them and coordinate the distribution of food into Grande Goave. Two more containers of rice and other food will leave towards the third week of February and at the end of Feb. one container donated by Rogers Flour will be trucked to Florida and shipped to a smaller port in Haiti.

The US Military arrived yesterday at H2H and made a list of our needs! They promised to do what they could do dig out some of our food from the depot and will be making random rounds around the compound to provide security.

On Wednesday Jan. 26 we will be flying in essentials for H2H such as tarps, cooking oil, plates and cutlery. A Vineyard church in Florida has offered to shop for these items and fly it in on an MFI (Missionary Flights International) plane.
