Hello again from Haiti. It is Wednesday and we have had a full day. Once again we remained on the NVM compound to minister. There were three main projects: painting, working on the septic system for the new children’s home and the sewing class.
The base of the school building and the current office needed to be painted and our team was up for the challenge. Bright blue was applied to the school and white to the office building. In just two weeks, the current office building will become the pre-school building and the staff will move to the newly constructed office building. The results of the painting were fantastic!
The two men and a number of the women once again tackled the septic system for the new children’s homes. The main project for the day was to dig a trench deeper. The pipe was coming out too high so dig they did. The ground is so hard they had to use a pick axe to soften the dirt. And move the dirt they did.
At two o’clock the women headed over to the large outdoor tent to continue their work teaching Haitian women how to hand sew. The project for the week is a cloth shoulder bag. They are doing a great job and the ladies on the team have been helping a great deal. Cheryl is working with these Haitian ladies to teach them this skill to help them make a living for their families.
We are so grateful to be working along side this great team. They have been willing to do whatever we have put before them. They are true servants. Please continue to pray for our week. Tomorrow is like today and Friday we conduct our second vision clinic. We will keep you posted.
Jim, Cheryl and the Girls
