Dear Team Member:
Home from Haiti today, about 1:00 AM.
The trip went well.
Lots of good things happening like:
- Fifty-seven (57) in the new Bible school.
- Computer class with 19 enrolled.
- Clinic 3 days a week for half a day.
- Haitian nurse hired.
- Sex education class for 17 young girls.
- New school foundation.
- New Mission Home half-built. Concrete poured on second floor last Tuesday.
Pastor Laroche expects it to be completed by the March mission trip.
- Upgrading of school curriculum.
- Uniforms for school children.
- Meeting with teachers, and established quarterly teacher meetings.
- Herman leased 5 acres of land next to the mission from Alceste for 10 years for
$1000.00. He paid for it, and it is to be a coop that can start right away.
A meeting will take place tomorrow to choose 10 people to start the project.
- Pastor Laroche gave the mission another piece of land for a coop. It is located
near the home for the homeless. A well will be drilled in March, and
will be used with a solar system. A possible fish farm is planned for that land, as
well as a coop farm. It appears to be at least 5 acres.
- The Hutchinson's are doing a good job, and have peace about being in Haiti.
- I didn't get sick at all on this trip. I was never so careful, but 4 others were really
sick, including Marie Laroche. All got better before returning home.
- Jim and 6 girls passed out worm medicine in the village of Caesse. I went along
to observe and take pictures.
- I took 6 rolls of pictures, and as soon as they are developed I will make up a new flyer.
There is more, but that is all for now.
