Lunch in Dumay!

Since the opening of the MTM Dumay school, we have faced many obstacles there. It's an area steeped in voodoo which has led to great poverty in the midst of wealth. Wealth of water, wealth of fertile, tillable ground & the wealth of other natural resources. When the heavy spring rains fall, the nearby river floods over & often time washes away part of the village with it leaving many homeless & not allowing our trucks to cross over with supplies & encouragement.

Despite the obstacles, MTM is extremely blessed to have good teachers that want to come to work each day & give to the children who attend the school. MTM is also extremely blessed to have good students who want to come to school each day to learn. We are also blessed to have good parents who understand the value of an education & that faithfully send their children to school each day.

Friday, March 28th, MTM was finally able to fulfill our committment (in full) to the families of Dumay & open our school cafeteria for full service to the students. Thank you Rice Raisers/Canada for the extra push to help us get this going! Before, we simply got by with a small pastry & whatever that could easily be prepared for the children. How wonderful it now is to give each child at the MTM Dumay school a big, hot plate of rice & beans & other nutrious sides to enjoy! Take a look at the pictures below to see how these children appreciate their new school lunch!


Class by class the students are served in the new cafeteria!









Faithfully sponsoring a student thru Mountain Top Ministries is a very simple way to help Haiti. For $25 each month, you can help a child recieve an education which includes school expenses, Biblical training, medical care & a nutrious hot lunch each day.
For more information about our student sponsorship program or any other information, please email us directly at wbcharles@hughes.net or contact Jimmy Metheos, CFRM, MTM Director of Develpment/Management at mtm@q.com or call 563-556-give.
