Sorry everyone. I totally apologize!! It's been almost 2 months since my last post. Life has been really crazy lately for us on the homefront - but back to reality! I just want to extend my utmost thanks to everyone who helped us make this mission trip possible. And just so you know, all of you who donated will be getting a letter and picture page - so watch your mail!
Well, God has been working overtime in our lives and opening doors for us! I am excited to announce that we will be making another trip to Haiti in June, but taking a group this time. I will write more on this later. KEEP WATCHING POSTS!!!
More pictures are also coming. I haven't quite figured out the video thing yet, but Jake will be home from college this week to help me.
I just want to recap what you helped us accomplish during our last trip:
These are the accomplishments that YOU made happen:
- talked to the director of civil affairs at the UN compound in St. Marc to better understand the needs of Haiti since the earthquake
- we supplied school supplies to over 700 PAP refugee students in Verrettes and 100 refugee students in Liancourt
- met a young man who followed his dream and recently started an English school but needs a small generator for lights so he can hold classes in the evening,
- built 5 shelters and funded 10 more in Port au Prince and started an ongoing project there
- saw first hand how Faith in Action International (FIAI) is helping the Haitian earthquake refugees-
- visited 3 groups doing soil conservation in the mountains and helped them make rock rows to prevent erosion,
- visited a tree nursery project that supplies mango and avocado trees to the poor in the mountains to plant,
- found a possible guest house to use for groups to come to Haiti in Verrettes.
- Began a relationship to send more groups in the future to help the Haitian people
- Encountered Christ everywhere we went!!!
Thank you again for your support!!!
