The week is passing quickly. This is a great team and they are doing great work. Today three of the ladies and our two girls went with Cheryl and I to Onaville to conduct the basket-making class and the rest stayed on the NVM compound to work on the outdoor kitchen.
For a couple of months now Cheryl and I have been going to Onaville where Cheryl is teaching 32 ladies the art of making rope baskets. Onaville is the largest displacement camp in Haiti. The ladies cover the ropes with fabric and then sew them together to form a basket. They sell like hotcakes! This is one additional way for the ladies to help support their families. They also are fed the word of God. Cheryl is teaching short lessons on the fruit of the Spirit. And today, Alex (holding the baby) gave her testimony which was very powerful. Here are the pictures.
And the rest of the team worked all day on the new outdoor kitchen for the students. Yesterday the footers were poured. And today painting continued on the containers, excavating was done and they began installing the pipes for the water system. Great progress is being made. The GAiN team arriving on March 24 will complete the project that this team has begun.
Thanks again for your interest and prayers. Keep them coming and we will keep pressing on. Tomorrow the team conducts our final vision clinic in Onaville and continues work on the outdoor kitchen. Pray that God prepares the hearts of those who will come to the clinic.
Jim, Cheryl and the Girls
