On Friday October 11^th after consulting with our English-speaking partners in Fond Doux, the Foundation sent some money to buy food for the neediest of the families. The Fond Doux Foundation Committee had expected to buy the food at Lamadeine but the store didn’t open. They needed to go to Vialet! There they paid a truck to haul the food to Fond Doux. Unfortunately, the truck ran across a barricade from the demonstrators before they arrived in Fond Doux; so, the truck couldn’t get through. They then needed to hire some men with motorcycles to go around the demonstrators to get the food the rest of the way– twelve 55lbs-bags of rice, six 44lbs-bags of beans and 3 gallons of oil. From this they helped 51 families — about 17 pounds of food per family. The food was distributed on Sunday October 13 after worship at the Primitive Church of Fond Doux. Emile Maceus, who engineered the distribution, said, “the transportation was not easy, but what made my day was the happiness that food gave to my fellow citizens! Everyone was overjoyed. Please let everyone know how happy the people in Fond Doux were because of that distribution!”
