Dawn Deeper Dive Questions to Elder Ahkeem:
What was the state of the orphanage when you got to Haiti? Can you describe the poverty of many of those in Haiti? What is the first step of all first responders? What help will you be able to provide on your second visit? Why was a little girl eating dirt? Explain why we wouldn't have poor people if the church did 50% of what it should be doing Is it ok to allow energetic leaders and ministry members like sister Jesse to do all the work to help those in need? Is it ok to be a hands off donor? Is God ok with outsourcing helping the poor? How should the poor fit into our planning for our lifestyle? Is God's call to help the poor the same to everyone? How do we help those in need in our community? Are you going back to Haiti? What did you learn when you flew over Haiti?

I am inspired to teach and create events geared towards showing the children Jesus. It is a privilege to work with such dedicated teachers and parents who not only encourage but creatively minister to the children.
