The medical team went to Gomier which has some beautiful beachfront lots for sale. The team saw a small mob for checkups, immunizations etc. Like the other villages, severe malnutrition is at the root of most problems. In a small way we took 100 lbs of rice and 50 lbs of beans to help. And as usual we turned away more people than we were able to feed.
The construction team poured seven of the columns for the porch and the cistern is down to eight feet. As this was the last day of the week we served extra squeeze cheese, summer sausage, and crakers for lunch. At the end of the day it was time to give away our clothes to our friends at the worksite. Returning barefoot to the Landcruiser, we made our way back to College John Wesley for some last minute souvenior shopping before going to the guesthouse to pack for home.
After supper the boys finished assembling the soccer goals and delivered them to the orphanage. How many engineers does it take to make a soccer goal? Too many that's for sure!
Tommorrow 5 team members leave for home, 4 are remaining for a second week and three new members will join for the final week.
Pictures and stories are wonderful. I am very proud of all of the workers with Hearts for Haiti especially my parents LeRoy and Velma Crees. I hope everyone continues to have good health for the trip and all medical and contruction work goes well.
ReplyDeleteAlso, updates and pics are great. However does the bog is doing a great job. I was wondering, if I wanted to give a donation to Toma's family, cound I? How could I do that?
ReplyDeleteI admire all of you. I know how hard the work is and how tired you are by evening, but it is with a happiness in your heart that you go to bed. My prayers are with you all, esp Velma and LeRoy. Things here in Phoenix are fine, into the high 80's, haven't hit 90 yet but 89 has become a daily. Think the temp for you all is higher and certainly the humidity is higher. The March madness has started and both Az schools passed the 1st round and both play Sun in the rd of 32. May you all remain healthy, encouraged, and sustained by God's grace. Twylla
