In the morning we drove up the mountain to the north for 40 minutes to the small community of Fond Cheval. There the team conducted their third water filter distribution. 25 families received filters. This is especially important to these mountain dwellers because water is hard to come by. Here are the sights.
In the afternoon the men and women split. The men were SOWING. NVM has a 10-ache field and we are planting corn. Part of the field is irrigated but most of it is not. In the photos you see two of the men working on the irrigation system while the others are hard at work in the hot Haitian sun hoeing in preparation to plant corn. We are so grateful for their hard work.
The women worked with Cheryl on a special event for the Haitian women. They gathered 25 Haitian women for a SEWING BEE. Each of the ladies made a cute draw-string purse, they had a cake and drink and played musical chairs. These ladies love to play that game. It was a joyful and encouraging time.
Later in the afternoon the ladies joined Cheryl in her work space to learn how to make rolled beads for making jewelry. It was a great experience to help them understand what the Haitian ladies go through in making the jewelry.
Tomorrow we conduct our final water filter distribution and continue with our work projects. We will report back then.
Serving on your behalf in Haiti,
Jim & Cheryl Warner
