Bulgar

According to the Wheat Foods Council (www.wheatfoods.org), bulgur is “white or red, hard or soft, whole wheat kernels that have been soaked, boiled, dried, then removing 5 percent of the bran and cracking the remaining kernel into small pieces. The result is par-cooked, cracked wheat. Bulgur differs from cracked wheat in that it is pre-cooked....Bulgur adds fiber, protein and complex carbohydrate to the diet.”
HAFF has just worked a shipment of bulgur through customs in Cap Haitien and brought it to Bohoc. The 820 - 50 pound sacks will be made available to the Community Relief Committee (CRC) for their rehabilitation and development projects that are now in the works. Please pray for favor with the Ministry of Finance so the bulgur can be exonerated from the duty under HAFF's franchise so that the Cap Haitien customs will return the check of “anticipation” that HAFF has deposited with them.

Getting the bulgur to Bohoc has been just one of many things happening at HAFF right now. The Young Leaders for God class was graduated Saturday May 15th and the Godly Woman class will be graduated May 29th. Finally, the HAFF staff is in the midst of a series of meetings with teachers, parents, students and the community. Please keep us all in prayer, Haitian and American alike at this extremely busy time of the year.
