Bonswa from Haiti.
Last night we had a good rain. It was the first thunder
storm of the month. The storm caused many mangos to fall and hit the metal roof
all night long. But this wasn’t the only mango mishap of the evening. Dan was
making a trip after dark, without a flashlight, and slipped on an open mango. The incident is now known as the Mango Tango. He’s okay but he’s walking a little slow today.
Today was a busy day here.
A group traveled to MPCA to drywall and paint in the new classroom built
last week. There we discovered unsafe
steps leading to the roof. Mark and Jake
were careful climbing up and down to inspect leaks in the roof. Tomorrow’s project will be repairing the
stairs and then fixing leaks in the roof of the school.
Carrie taught a cardiac class at the nursing school today.
There were 35 students. Tomorrow they plan to dissect goat and cow hearts.
Bev, Pam, Brittany and Ruth traveled to Chardene this
morning. Bev taught 158 girls about their menstrual cycle and hygiene. Ruth
translated the message and at the end of the class the girls were each given a
hygiene kit. God knew what we needed. We
had exactly enough kits for the girls who attended the class. We also delivered
6 soccer balls donated by the Ebenezer team. Bev and Pam were able to meet up with their sponsored children. Brittany was fortunate to bond with a cutie pie and several other children.
Jean finished her masonry project at the Rachel’s Inn. She is such a hard worker.
We had an extra friend re-join our crew this morning.
Heather was lucky enough to catch a rat on a sticky trap last night. But this
morning, when Steve attempted to drown it, it escaped.
Looking forward to tomorrow.
