The month has come to an end. We are thankful for all the people who have been supporting us from back home through prayer.

Shari helped not only with sewing but everything we asked her from construction to medical.

Week four ends on a laugh after Mark tells a joke right as the camera snaps the picture. It has been an incredible journey and we are all going to miss our Haitian brothers and sisters, but we are ready to come home to be with our families again.

Over all it was a busy day with people working all over. We can't believe we only have 2 full days left here in Haiti but we are excited to go home and be with our family and friends. Thank you for all your prayers and continue to pray for safety and that we would continue to work hard for these last few days. 

Much love from all here! 

Today we had teams in Degeance, MPCA, and here at the center, doing a variety of things including medical and construction.

Tyler and a few others in Degeance took a hike up the mountain to visit a child who couldn't make it to school.

The hike brought us to this child and his family. Here is a picture of Tonya with her patient.

And the family in Degeance was so hospitable, they gave us each a coconut!

Mark fixes a door in MPCA.

Amanda, Tyler, Megan, and Becca paint the kitchen at the school in Degeance.

It was a wonderful day, and we can't believe the week is already halfway over!

                                   
 March 3, 2015..... Temp 86 and no ice!

Pam's sponsored child brought her fruit.  It was such a special gift.   

Today the teachers and cooks trained us regarding Hygiene. We are starting to learn how difficult their lives are.  They do not have the simple pleasure of buying toilet paper.

They were so appreciative that we took the time to have a small seminar for them. 

So nice to meet the Pastor's family.  This is pastor Miegel from MPCA!

The Bluffton Students are doing great!  More to come tonight.  

 Teams from week 3 and 4 came together to work at the school in Dupin on Saturday, the 28th. After a hike up the mountain, we installed some new teacher and student desk along with some new classroom cabinets.

 One of our Haitian helpers carried the desk all the way up the mountain all by himself and on his head.

Anna, Becca, Ross, and many others play a huge boys versus girls soccer game using two stones as the goal post.

 Megan and Becca taught some kids to play Duck, Duck ,Goose after a few failed attempts.

Rene (and Scott who is not shown) both were baptized Saturday by Pastor Herve in the ocean to put a great end to the night.

Sunday, we went to a beautiful Haitian church service where we had special music not only by the Haitians but also our own team. Ross sang a solo and then a group sang a hymn as well. The message was translated for us by Pastor Herve so both the Haitians and the Mission Possible groups could enjoy the service.

After church, we sadly had to say good-bye to the team from week 3. Our week 4 team started off the week with a relaxing day on the beach and some good bonding over cards before we get started on another busy week.

Good Evening!
Week 4 team members arrived safely today. Yippie!
The last two days we've been busy, busy, busy.

Sewing Team: Yesterday the sewing team packed up a couple of sewing machines and traveled to Lahatte, where the ladies worked on their market bags. Today the Lanzac ladies returned to the Mission Possible Center for their final sewing lesson. They finished their market bags and potholders. They also brought their quilts that they finished a couple of weeks ago for pictures. The team threw a party to celebrate the ladies accomplishments. Each lady received a certificate, Liane danced. The ladies were very touched form the generosity of all. Tears were shed as they parted ways.


Construction Team: On Thursday part of the team traveled to the Mission Possible school in Lahatte to complete small projects, such as mending gutters, painting doors, and repairing a cistern. The rest of the team stayed back at the Center and painted, started assembly of student desks, stained bookshelves, and fabricated more steel. Today part of team stayed at the Center and finished the assembly of over 30 student desks with the the help of many different Haitians at many different times. The team finished up lots of odds and ends. The rest of the construction team traveled to the Mission Possible school in Dupin and installed new teacher cabinets.


Medical Team: On Thursday the team traveled to the Mission Possible school in Saint Marc and performed over 115 student physicals and visions screenings. Today part of the team ventured to Depin, which involved a 1/2 mile hike up a mountain. Once the team arrived at the Mission Possible school they performed over 65 student physicals. The other members traveled to our school named IPCA to teach CPR to the teachers.



Rene, Bev, David Mi., Jean, Bob & Jackie, Marcia and Dennis, Lynn & Liane all got to meet their sponsor children for a brief period of time this afternoon. One highlight was that Jeff and Heather's sponsor child returned and worked alongside them for another day.

Good Evening!
Below is a summary of what we accomplished today:

Construction Team:  The team continued welding and painting frames for student and teacher desks. The team finally saw the fruits of their labor when the desks were assembled with the help of the Haitian workers.

Sewing Team: The group of Lanzac women returned to work on completing their market bags and
pot holders. The women are so proud of their progress. The Haitian young ladies are enthralled with our Mission Team young ladies, especially braiding their hair and helping them practice their Creole.


Medical Team:  The team traveled to Degeance. They had to hike the last 1/2 mile because there is no dirt road for the truck to travel on, only a narrow walking trail. The team conducted over 115 student physicals and vision screenings. Ever year there is a medical case that reminds us of why we do this work. The little boy in the picture below is a student at Degeance. The Doctor and Nurses working in the clinic today were very concerned for this little boy. He was dehydrated, clammy, and lethargic. Instantly they started pushing fluids and eventually was able to get him to eat. Gradually he started to improve. It reminds us of the importance of the feeding program that Mission Possible provides with sponsorship. Most of the children's only meal is at school.
