So yesterday, somehow, I ended up slinging bags of rice anyways. I decided to take a day away from the proposal writing stuff and follow our food distribution crew with my camera, ask some questions, collect some info etc. On this particular trip, a truck full of rice needed to be off-loaded at our office in Gran Goave by hand. So far we've moved almost 7 metric tonnes of rice to communities in our project areas where people from the city are migrating back to their families out of desperation. Almost all families have additional mouths to feed, and some families have doubled in size. One of our staff was telling me of a family in Trouin which now has 32 people. The distributions have so far been orderly, and peaceful, and without military escort. This I suppose is partly because it is a rural area, but also I think because we have a long standing relationship with these communties and organized groups in each area.
