Beside the Still Waters

Which Kitchen Would You Choose?

Since my photos of housing in Haiti and the Dominican Republic – compared with homes in the U.S. — were so popular, I thought I would show you another contrast.  Which kitchen would you choose for your own home?

Here is one we visited in Haiti.  It was basically just a fire pit behind the shack they lived in.

Notice that even this advertisement of a fake kitchen in the U.S. has more food on the shelves than the one in Haiti!

Here is a home we visited in the Dominican Republic. We were stunned to find out that the large group of children in this home, including Oscar, hadn’t eaten all day, because there was no food or propane. You can read about our response to this situation here.

I can’t help but compare this photo of my kitchen — with all the food you see in the cabinets, fruit bowl and (unseen) refrigerator and freezer — with Oscar’s home.

Would you be willing to sponsor a child in need? Click here to see the beautiful faces of children awaiting sponsors. We just learned that many children have waited for more than a year. You can make it possible for them to never go to bed hungry again. Imagine that!

  1. It really is amazing, isn’t it? Even when we “have no food and need to go grocery shopping”…our supply is still way more than those in poverty.
