In Jacmel, the national water truck has not come for more than a week the people living on the streets were in serious trouble, desperate for water to drink. Our water purification system was in Cap-Rouge, but I sent for it, and last night we provided clean water for 200 families! Everyone was so happy, especially mothers who were able to give their babies fresh clean water to drink.

Another blessing through the generosity our our donors. Special thanks to all who gave and are giving.

Yesterday, we were supposed to distribute some of the items that arrived in the boxes from Canada in a little place called K.Michel, not too far from the school in Cap Rouge. The news spread far and wide, and so many parents and children came, for safety we had to cancel it and change to another distribution place. Instead we had it today at the school, we still had hundreds of people coming out, just to get something for their children and for themselves. Thanks be to God we were able to serve more than 400 families including, boys and girls. One pregnant woman shared after received a blanket and a tarp, “I will sleep warm tonight, yes I will sleep warm tonight.” Others are happy for nice pair of shoes and for clothes. Everyone says: ‘thank you for thinking about us’

Dr. Martin and Mrs. Martin, I was thinking of you today, knowing how you worked so hard for these boxes to arrive here, but you must be happy now, many have been blessed.

I would like to take this opportunity to express thanks to our faithful donors for giving so much to help at this point in time. Thank you because, as a result of your gifts, many will and are sleeping warm tonight.

Thank you for helping The Arms of Jesus to Reach the needy and the suffering in Haiti.

Wilson Maitre,

AOJ Director.
