Ms. Ellis, and her team is always elated whenever they are told that donations are on the way from Food For The Poor to the Spanish Town Hospital. The items that were delivered to the hospital in April were necessary and highly requested at the time of arrival. “The syringes and needles are used everywhere except the administrative office,” We were low on needles and syringes, so this donation came in time and at the right time. The Ministry of Health and Wellness through the National Health Fund distributes these items stop the hospitals, however for that period of March-April, the National Health Fund run short on supply, almost depletion.”

"Thanks to this sanitation renovation project, the children now have better access to more bathroom stalls and so conflicts are far less, which is something we are grateful for. This donation has helped tremendously even as it relates to the odors in the bathroom. The boys can use the urinals instead of the trough, which was there before. This means we have less tinkles and splashes... and it's way easier to keep clean. Of all the components of the project, the best parts for me would be the new toilets that were installed and the tiling that was done. A big thank you and appreciation for all the people who have considered Clarks Town Primary because the area that we are in, sometimes we are left behind. The children are so grateful. You are touching many lives, far more than you can ever imagine. The students see it and they appreciate it...just continue doing what you are doing because it is making a big difference and a great impact.”

“Thanks a million, wow, you don’t know how much the people in the community are so appreciative of the care package and the groceries. Persons are reaching out saying, ‘Pastor, you don’t know what you have done for us.’ They are grateful and I am happy. Persons were anticipating their package and shared that it was so needed in this time and season. It is a true blessing. Thank you so much Food For The Poor! We will continue to pray for the organization and its donors.”

“I was disappointed when I realized that I would have to spend time in prison, especially when thinking about my daughter. This was totally unexpected. The first thing I want to do after I leave here is to go visit her. I cannot explain the feeling...it is like a big burden fell off my shoulders when I heard that Food For The Poor was going to pay my fine...it was a big relief. I was here (in prison) for a couple of days and many nights I cried because I could not see my daughter and I kept thinking that I may not come out alive. Thanks to Food For The Poor again for making this possible, for giving me a second chance. My Christmas wish is to see my daughter...that’s the biggest wish and I thank Food For The Poor for making that a reality.”

“This Rainwater Harvesting Project has been God-sent. We have been able to manage crop production much better even during the dry season this year. Things have really improved for us . Rainwater being slightly acidic is better for the plants than the tap water which is slightly alkaline. The plants have responded to getting rainwater and that too has shown the increase in the production the crops were ready a little quicker faster, shorter time for the crops to mature and they were more robust especially when we just transplanted. They responded very well to getting the rainwater during the irrigation sessions when the students were assigned. That has been wonderful for us. God is so good”
