On the third day, we visited the Mercy Farm to pick up snacks and food packages. We traveled in a van that contained me [Daniel P.], two mission team members and a social worker. After that we went to visit some of the families to deliver the food and snacks. Some of the houses we went to are mostly damp and lacking ventilation. Seeing it for the first time gave me a higher perspective on things. It made me understand more of the struggles in life that I have not even thought about when I was living in Canada. As we deliver to the families I could see the joy that came out of the families. This joy that I see brings much thoughts and feelings to my mind. I was glad that I have decided to go to this trip otherwise I would not be able to see and understand poverty and struggles.

The next day, we went to the Mercy Farm again to pick up some hot meals and bread. We got to have a look around the farm while we were waiting for the food. There were huge bakeries and kitchens that are used to prepare the food. Also there were huge greenhouses that contained rows and rows of plants. After picking up the food we headed off to some of the Roma Communities surrounding Uzhhorod. Like the last day, these communities gave me more insight. I saw that there was a serious lack of resources with high amounts of people living very cramped to each other. However, when we visited the communities, the people there were glad to see us and I could see the thankfulness they had when they were taking their meals. We visited two communities and seeing them made me understand more about the seriousness of the troubles and how God needs more people to go and help those who are in need no matter how big or small or how much they have.
