Dear ,

FFCC is back in Haiti!

The team has split into several work groups in order to maximize their impact there in a short time. The latest reports from the team say that they have been successful in securing the land needed for the orphange, and they are now working to secure some land for agricultural purposes to grow ingredients for meals. In addition, they have been promised assistance with some supplies for the building of the orphanage and school. They plan to meet with the Minister of Agriculture on Friday the 6th.

The house-building team has completed roofs on 15 houses. The team working on the home where the group is living built a wall and put up a ceiling. The last team, working at the orphanage, pouring cement, installing a toilet, and working with power tools.

Despite the near 100 degree temperatures and high humidity, FFCC has twice fielded a soccer team to challenge the local kids. Last reported: Haiti-2, FFCC-0.

FFCC is making a big difference in a short time in a very needy place. Please remember the team in your support and prayers as they prepare to finish up their trip and head home!

Warehouse Space Still Needed!

We are still in the process of looking for some desperately needed warehouse space! We are now completing our move from our Rancho Bernardo location and are searching for a new home (1,000 square feet plus) to house our packaging equipment, bulk food, and finished meals! If you have any space you can donate or know of someone who does, please contact Phil at philffcc@san.rr.com .

Thanks!
