They're Home!

 The good news: Caroline La Borde and Gail Moulton, along with the group of 8 from Region 13-Virginia, arrived home safely from their trip to Trouin. Haitian Hope is exceedingly grateful to have a beautiful partnership with the Virginians, who in turn partner (together with us) with St. Marc's-Trouin, Haiti.

The better news: Everything was accomplished as expected: students counted, teachers interviewed, photos taken, solar panels installed, relationships bloomed, and brother/sisterhood abounded. We rejoice in living and learning conditions for our children in Trouin which have improved immensely since 2006, the beginning of our relationship.

The best news: The solar panels work and provide power for recharging computers and cell phones; and provide the means for electric lights in the school. Thanks to your donations and the labor of many from Georgia and Virginia, 2013 brings to the students at St. Marc's, for the first time, access to clean water, bathroom facilities, computers and electric lights in the classrooms. The students also proudly wear uniforms, have paid teachers and can eat a hot meal everyday.

What a changed world they now know. Alleluia! Praise be to God and the work of the Holy Spirit among the hearts of so many people. 

Peace and love,
Marcia
