Saturday February 6th
Today the construction team worked on a playground for the Lanzac school. The team broke up into teams each working on sections of the project. They built swings, monkey bars, and teeter totters. The children came for moral support and enjoyed the job of testing out the equipment. The squeals of joy coming from the children made the day worth all the tireless work of gathering supplies, making plans, and doing the construction. Everything is much more difficult here and nothing is taken for granted. The Lord loves these Haitian children and these children see it in the way Mission Possible sacrificially serves their needs which includes their physical, spiritual,educational and even their need to play. Happy children are well loved. And the team enjoyed joining the work of love.
We will be adding more medical pictures tomorrow. The Medical team went to the rice fields north of St. Marc. We were in awe of the sun glistening off the bright green blades of the rice plants. We came to a small village where there was a church. The medical team came in, moved benches and made a waiting room, in take room, examining room, a lab, a pharmacy, and outside the church we had an eye clinic. Of course the medical team had to be resourceful. The people were beautiful. We heard the most beautiful worship coming from voices of thankful Haitian people as the welcomed us with a song. We we were beyond moved. We saw around 168 patients in 7 hours. The Hygiene kits were so needed. I wish all those hands who put those kits together, could see the depth of gratitude witnessed in these women's eyes.
