Today was a very active day for the
team! All the Haiti “newbies” got to see the sights and visit a few important
places. The medical group plus some bounced
and swayed all the way to La Hatte bright and early to finish a few physicals,
then enjoyed a hike through the village, holding the hands of precious, little
ones along the way, returning back hungry and sun burnt. In the afternoon, the same group went to
Degeance to hike up to the school as well as preview the land for the new
school. Everyone agreed it was amazing
to see the beautiful, scenic view and appreciate the beauty of Haiti.
Josh and Mirlene (Community Agent at St. Marc) gave a seminar about maintaining the Life Straws. Responsible persons from each school as well as all of the community agents attended.
Pam and
Deb conducted an afternoon training session for the community agents. The community agents were very gracious for all
they had learned and the teachers are encouraged by all they learned. They enjoyed
learning how to use the new thermometers and in Lanzac, they are thrilled to
have the new cup holding peg boards that Jeff made. The time wrapped up with some sweet worship,
Jezi renmen.
The
construction team took lumber and supplies to Dupin to set up to complete the
new roof next week in the remaining few days of work. The walls were completed on the tool storage
shed so everything can be put away into a new organized space next week. A couple guys finished a screen for rat
prevention in the supply room. Hooray! The
rest of the day was spent sorting supplies to keep in Haiti and packing up things
to take to Findlay.
Some of
the team will be leaving bright and early for the airport tomorrow AM. Thank
you, Lord, for this amazing time in Haiti. May we never forget what we have
experienced and take Haiti home in our hearts!
