Prices

TiChal bought these items at a local store.  Can one of you tell me how much these cost in the states?

32 oz of honey costs 345 Gourdes/US $8.75

can of mushroom soup costs 75 Gourdes/US $1.90

28 oz of peanut butter costs 267 Gourdes/US $6.76

hot pepper sauce costs 34 Gourdes/US $.86

8 oz of grated Parmesan cheese costs 265 Gourdes/US $6.71

10 oz can of asparagus costs 191 Gourdes/US $4.84

32 oz jar of strawberry preserves costs 210 Gourdes/US $5.32

I'd appreciate hearing from someone who knows the US supermarket prices to the above food items.  Thanks very much!
Wow!  Great response.  Appreciate the compared prices and your efforts.  The next time I'm in Maine I'll check out Hannaford's in Farmington.  Hannaford's sent us tons and tons of bottled water right after the earthquake.  Them there folks up in Maine are right generous!!

Desperation leads to riots

Dear friends,

I have been in North Carolina meeting donors, thanking benefactors and speaking at clubs and churches. It's been busy but fruitful. I've been in touch with my staff down in Les Cayes and the situation remains tense. Various reports from this area indicate that several Haitians were killed and many more injured as the people protested the new increases in food costs. Please continue to pray for the safety of our children and that a solution can be found to appease the Haitians in these troubled times.
Am heading to New Jersey from here and should be back home in a week. Needless to say, your support is essential and greatly appreciated. Help us get the word out by emailing all your contacts and linking them to http://www.freethekids.org/. Thank you and God bless.
