Wednesday, February 10
Today was a beautiful day here in Haiti. A four person construction crew went to Chardene to start the second playground, finishing quickly and making it back just in time for lunch. Mark, Ron, and Greg went to a site near Degeance to survey land for a possible future building project. They were accompanied by some goats that made the time there interesting. While the teams were out, some stayed behind to take inventory before heading home here in a couple days. Bev and Liane finished up another sewing class with the ladies of Lanzac. Because the crew at Chardene finished early they started working on some school desks. The team cut the desktops out, welded the frames, and finished it all off by staining the wood and painting the frames.
Medical team drove a little over an hour up to LaHatte today to run another community clinic. John and Bud repaired desks and dug out water lines to the cistern while Josh ran the glasses department. The medical team saw many children today and had to chase some persistent chickens and their chicks out of the medical clinic. We continued to enjoy our evening here at Lanzac by eating food, listening to the ocean, playing Euchre, and celebrating Greg's 33rd birthday today. See you all in a couple days. Much love.
One special shoutout: Bud says Happy Birthday to his mom Rose!
The Birthday guy, Greg, is already hard at work in the early morning.
The medical team rides in style.
Just one of the many children that came today.

The women were so proud to get their certificates of completion for the sewing classes.
