A special thank you to Myers Park United Methodist Church and all others who made this timely and novel delivery of food aid possible. To quote one of the leaders of OFCB who writes to thank David Nichols and Kevin Wright for their participation in this event shortly after hurricanes Hanna and Ike:
“We think you do not have the ability to understand and explain it to the people of the states what was happening in Bayonnais today, they are used to seeing such things in their area. People were not happy because of the rice first of all, but of seeing helicopter landing in Bayonnais for a really first time and see how you sacrifice yourselves to visit us. . . What you do has two meanings: you feed people who are very, very and very very hungry and you give them hope to know that God is Good if they can see that happening in here. . . By the way, say THANKS in capital letters to the rest of the States for us. We are going to keep contact with you in order to know what to do, in order to wait for you for the day of tomorrow.”
