And Jaime is adorable, right out of "Oliver Twist"---that face! (Did you know one in 5 children here in the US live in poverty!? Isn t that so sad? ....for us and for hungry children everywhere.)<br /><br />lizzyLizzy Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13925662100321427762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7554378824181841688.post-15533143373266690812014-11-20T19:28:47.178-08:002014-11-20T19:28:47.178-08:00Thanks for sharing this experience.

And when those on the mission trip would stop to eat their meager lunch, the kids would stand around them in a circle watching them eat (don't think I could've eaten anything). He returned home just before Thanksgiving and had a REALLY hard time sitting down to our Thanksgiving table knowing of the starvation over there. He really wanted to go back to Africa once more but passed away before being able to.Sherrillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13525739431209937725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7554378824181841688.post-8891844187879647922014-11-20T12:45:20.174-08:002014-11-20T12:45:20.174-08:00had tears as I read this and looked at the photos....had tears as I read this and looked at the photos. we are so blessed <br />thank you for giving of yourself to go there to help. <br />Our church along with some of the other parishes here go to Haiti to build houses and wells. Last time they went in the spring, I made 60+ littlle dresses for them to bring there. I am unable to go because of my health.
