Canadian Thanksgiving in Haiti

Food distribution for the flooded community of Chalye, near Miragoane (see previous post).

The small town of Chalye was flooded by both runoff and storm surge.

The US Military is airdropping supplies to areas cut-off by hurricane damage.

Doing a distribution for the people of Vila-de-Woz.  Zach was relieved to finally arrive.  The truck was overloaded with rice and beans and had to travel over some horrible terrain.

This is the earthquake refuge for the Vila-de-Woz community all cleaned up for Sunday morning.  By God's grace the Vila-de-Woz church building, a joint project of SONBEAM International and CRWM, withstood the force of the hurricane and became a shelter for survivors.

For those of you Canadians who were celebrating Thanksgiving yesterday, I thought it would be nice to see what Canadian Thanksgiving is like for the survivors of Hurricane Matthew.  Turkey is definitely not on the menu, but rice and beans are.  Most Haitians living in the disaster area would be happy to eat anything this Canadian Thanksgiving.
