Our military on a “mission”

This past week two of our military’s finest were on the NVM compound. Ronnie Hawkins and Sylvester Brown arrived with Sylvester’s son and a second young man.  And they arrived ready to work. During their week here they worked on three main projects. As previously reported, a group just put up a playground.  Ronnie and Sylvester were asked to put a fence around the playground. And to appreciate the magnitude of this project you need to know how hard and rocky the ground is here on the compound.  It was a lot of work.   They also worked on the new soccer (football!!) field. Soccer is the main sport for the kids in Haiti.  Also as previously reported, a team installed a water filtration system on top of the school. This system provides clean water for the 350 students in the school.  The black tank is located on the roof of the school and the sun was making the water almost hot to drink. So, Ronnie and Sylvester were asked to build a housing to cover the tank to keep the water cooler. This was a special challenge because of the strong winds that blow on the campus every day.   Their A-frame design allows the wind to blow through the structure and  yet provides shade for the tank.  We want to thank this team for all their hard work. And please pray for them as they are a strong Christian presence in our military. Thank you gentlemen!
