St. Marc, Trouin , Haiti
Libby’s talk
was incredibly inspirational. We heard
about all the things we should not take and so much about what we should be
doing to help our brothers and sisters there.
She showed pictures with names on them to help us put a face to the folks
who share in this relationship. She
compared her response to this part of her personal journey with how Moses
resisted God’s call to him. But in the
end, God wins, and she won. These are "my people now; my family," she said.
Tammy Pallot was kind enough to place Libby's presentation
to Haitian Hope on YouTube. If you have trouble accessing the link in Tammy's
email, try a search: youtube Libby Haiti St. Francis Macon.

The first photo is from the computer class that was held on Saturday - yes, school on Saturday. They do that because so many of the teachers want to participate. I worked with Geri (Salien's counterpart of the Trade School) and showed the class the mechanics of Word docs, creating files, right / left click, and creating new files. A few of the kids were actually quite familiar with computers, but most of them had never used Microsoft Office products before. It was a huge hit and I had a blast directing
them
(in FRENCH no l less) on the basics.
Second photo is a "family" portrait. The woman is Geri's "second" mom as he rents a room in her house to be near the school. She lost her leg during the earthquake and walks with a prosthetic. That's Geri of course in the photo and the little girl is his "mom's" daughter.
