Update #2 from Russ

All goes well in Trouin. Solar project started wiring; solar panels batteries and pole for the panels to be purchased, hopefully Friday. Met with Trade School Director Dutervil. Very impressive. Ladies on our trip measured for skirts and dresses to be made by sewing class. Ready for delivery next visit.

Caroline and Gail worked in the school library, took lots of pictures, including secondary school teachers.

Bad news on the stove. Had minor explosion with propane, no one seriously hurt, but will need new stove.

Nicole led 18 youngsters in singing This Little Light of Mine which will be part of the school dedication.

Delivered the plaque to Pere Michaud . He loved it. Pere Kate currently feeding Lentz, Pere Michaud's son, who is wonderful.


Tennis Balls a great hit.

Safe Arrival

Gail Moulton and Caroline La Borde have arrived safely in Port-au-Prince and were happily met by Pere Michaud in the repaired pick-up truck!!! They are delighted to report the airport is brand new with all the amenities one could desire. It opened in November and provides a warm and friendly welcome to the country. 
 
They plan to stay in Trouin from January 30 - February 5. During this time, they'll see a baptism, check on the status of goats, take photos of the teachers, and visit with our friends in Trouin. They'll also be part of the dedication ceremonies for the school completed this past summer by Haitian Hope and the Region XIII Virginia group with lots of work done by the Haitians. 

The rest of the group has arrived safe and sound (and tired) in Trouin, also. 

Please pray for their safety and for a successful trip.
