Dear Supporters,
More and more PAP refugees are coming to Lagonav everyday. Not only homeless family members but their homeless friends. We are working to reduce pressure on our families by keeping our school breakfast program running strong, presently feeding 241 children at our school and 150 children at a neighboring elementary school. As I write, a member of our staff, Feronel, and a member of Women Artists of Matènwa, Nini, are going in search of food on the mainland. Staff plan to go to St. Marc to buy more food. MCLC will buy as much food as they can from the mainland before turning to eat what is left in their gardens. If we have enough money to do so, MCLC will buy and resell food in the main open market at an affordable price in an effort to help our neighboring communities. We hope that this strategy will stretch our dwindling resources.
Thank you so much for your donations and all your moral support during these difficult times. Have have been touched by all your emails and offers to help us.
In solidarity,
Chris
