First testimonial 

One of the houses that are currently under construction is for a beneficiary called Guerline Desil. She explained that she is a street vendor and has a small income that could barely help her through her daily needs. Therefore, she didn't have enough money to build her own house. 

"Thank you to the donors who thought of us and thank God for putting FFP on our path. My family and I now sleep peacefully in our own house" said Guerline Desil.

Second testimonial 

Odette Charles an inhabitant living at Treille was explaining how the community doesn't have a place for gathering.

For every meeting, the inhabitants meet under a tree, exposed to the sun and rain. Sometimes the heat is unbearable as on rainy days no meeting takes place. 

"We have a beautiful building in our community, where we can have any type of celebration. I want to thank the donor for this gift. I pray that God bless them along their paths" said Odette Charles.
