Jamal Iqtish, our partner in the "Food for Syrian Refugees Living Outside of Organized Camps" project, took us to deliver some of the food boxes today.
The people we visited are living in an old abandoned house in a farmer's field outside of Amman. Last night one of the women living there gave birth to twins (a boy and a girl).
There are 8 families with a total of 42 people living in the house. They received 7 boxes of food. This will last them for one month.
Jamal brought candy for the children and they all waited patiently for him to pass it out. There was no pushing and shoving or taking more than one piece.
It was heartwarming to see such love and compassion from this great man. He personally knows every one.
One of the older women was the leader of the group and she joked that she wanted to get engaged to Jamal.
There's nothing like a piece of candy to make life better. Notice the dirt floor.
This man told us he walked 10 days to get to the Syrian border. Members of his family were killed before they could escape.
