From Kitchen to Table

This is our new kitchen at the Center of Hope. It is open, spacious, and able to accommodate the 700 plus means prepared each day.
Food is prepared here for: the mothers living at the Center, the Kwash children able to eat, the children in the Recuperation Program, and the children at St. Pierre School.
As you can see, the kettles are large and the "stove is an elevated cement block with numerous grates for charcoal cooking. The charcoal is made here on the grounds from trees that had to be taken down. The "stove" is made to maximize the burning power of the charcoal and minimize the waste.
Next time I will show a picture of the children at St. Pierre eating what, for most, is their only meal for the day.

The cholera threat seems to be diminishing. Now we are expecting a tropical storm - "Tomas" - on Wednesday or Thursday. Do say a prayer for the people of Haiti who seem to have more than their share of everyday adverse events.
