We are off this morning to the mountain town of Cazale to spend time at the Real Hope for Haiti clinic where the Medika Mamba substance is administered to starving children. Medika Mamba, or "peanut butter medicine" when translated into English, is an extremely fortified peanut butter substance used to treat malnourished children. Peanuts that are grown in Haiti are ground, combined with vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients, and then fed to starving kids. The kids love the stuff (it kind of tastes like the inside of a Reese's piece). $100 is all that is needed to provide enough Medika Mamba to bring one child back to health.
I am not certain what all we will be doing while there, but Pat and Randy promise that it will be a life-changing day. This morning dozing Americans were awakened by the smell of a wonderful breakfast being cooked downstairs (nothing like French toast to start a day) and it was bustlier in the guesthouse than it has been--five extra people will do that. : )
Well, time to go!
