We arrived in front of the church that had a fence surrounding the grounds just like people’s homes. It was explained that the people standing by the fence did not go to church to get an admission pass to the food distribution line. The fence was opened and our vans drove into the sand parking lot. The lot was big enough for maybe 6 vehicles. The fence was closed behind the vans. There was a church service going on inside the church building built from 2 x 4s and plywood. I know as most do the church building is not the church. The building is a place to worship. The people who worship are the church.

I took this picture of the kids standing by the outside of the church by the van and then showed them what it looked like in the display of the digital camera. I wondered if they have ever seen a picture of them selves let a lone a modern camera. The kids seemed amazed at seeing themselves. I was glad I could show them their picture. I just hope they don’t have to live their entire life in this poverty.	Curtis passing out carrots, Donna passing sausages, Rod passing out onions and Judy passing out jalapeno peppers.
