I was able to speak with many, many recipients of Vodou Aid on
Saturday. The person who handles the food purchases has a cell phone,
so I called him at the time the distribution was happening, and person
after person took the phone to talk with me.

With the $1200 we sent (and it cost $132 to send it by Western Union),
it was possible to purchase one large pig for $300US, and with the
remainder, ten sacks of rice, one large sack of beans, a few gallons
of oil, and a little bread, coffee and sugar to keep hunger cramps
from throwing people on the ground while waiting for the meat, rice
and beans to cook.

So we have about sixty dollars left in the Vodou Aid account, and God
knows there is no end to hunger, so if you haven't had the chance to
give yet, please do:

Most of the people I spoke to are sleeping outdoors, because their
houses were destroyed. Apparently our area of Haiti was one of the
hardest hit in terms of structural damage.
