Bonswa…
Well I am finally back in Haiti. You can tell that the rainy season is in full swing. The temperature and humidity are both up and the thunderstorms are broiling around us. For those of you that have been asking how the progress is coming along…SLOW! There is still quite a bit of debris around Port-au-Prince. Some of the roads are being cleaned up and repaired, but from my assessment it looks like if the government or their image is being positively impacted then something is being done. If it is for the common person then life is the same. Also, the jury is still out on whether or not the new President and his team will make much difference.
Here are a couple of pictures from the drive to Carrefour.
We went by one of the special houses today that our construction team has been working on. A church in Columbia, SC funded this one for the family of a young man that they have been sponsoring in the USA for college. There is more work to be done, but the family will complete this work. Tomorrow and the next day I will be able to get some pictures of some of our regular homes that we have been building.
We are working on house number 11, but as of this time this will be the end of the funds for these homes. You might recall that each home costs around $4,500 and are being built for pastors or widows. Please be in prayer for additional funds to be made available for these homes.
While we were driving to Carrefour we drove past the village that is being build by another NGO. I shared about these houses about 9 months ago. They are 12’ x 16’ and constructed out of plywood. The expectation is that the owner will build around the structure with concrete block when they can get the funds to do so. These structures are already starting to show serious weathering. When I checked out the NGO website they showed up at cost of $6,700.
Well it is time to head off to bed. Tomorrow we head up top Gonaives to visit a couple of construction projects and meet with some government officials to plan for a waterline to one of our orphanages.
More to follow…
Thanks...
Remember... In all that you do: Walk with God and Follow your Heart!!!
God bless you and have an awesome day!!!
