this time your plans for Sunday's Souper Bowl of Caring activities are
probably well underway. We join you in hoping that it will be as successful
as preceeding years thanks to your generosity.
There is an article on page A3 in Wednesday's Houston Chronicle that is
particularly poignant in light of this generosity. The title of the article
is "Starving Haitians Eating Dirt Cookies". The article goes on to describe
how Haiti's poorest depend on dirt cookies, made from yellow dirt, salt and
shortening, for food. Dirt to make 100 cookies costs $5.00! Further, the
article states that "about 80 percent of people in Haiti live on less than
$2 a day.
God bless all of you.
