Dirt Cookies

That’s right, it’s one of the reasons I do what I do. A Dirt Cookie can remind us why we are seeing through this vision God gave us to feed starving children in Haiti and the hungry here locally. 

What are dirt cookies? Well, think of this, you’re a mother in Haiti, you barely have a place to live, a few sticks, a tarp and cardboard held together, only a few clothes, rancid water and 4 or 5 children to feed, plus no money for food. What do you do as a mother?

You scrape together some of the clay off the ground, add some oil or salt if you have some and then you shape them into flattened discs and bake them in the sun. They are hard and bitter tasting. You give them to your children, not because they taste good or because they have any nutritional value, but it is the only “something” you have to fill their stomachs.

Hunger is a true reality in Haiti – one of the poorest third world countries. We can change this. Will you help us?
