STIMMA held its first ever Food Distribution in Haiti in May 2011. The team worked hard one night packaging numerous bags of rice and beans. The team, in merely 2 hours, bagged enough food for just over 600 families. Teamwork at it's best!
On Sunday afternoon, the Haitians lined up and the team gave each family rice, beans, water and oil that would feed an average family for 4 weeks. The day was an eye opening day for the team as we were able to truly appreciate the extent of poverty and devastation in the area. The people lined up for hours to get their food, and many stayed after the distribution was over to see if there was any food left.
We tried to make sure no one went home empty handed, and everywhere on site you could see STIMMA team members sharing their lunch and other treats with the locals. A truly heart wrenching day filled with smiles, tears and new friends.
