Recent Visits

Recently we had visits from two interesting groups - One was a workteam from the US to Project Help in Borel.  We enjoyed a walk together along the canal.  On late afternoon walks one always sees a few of our kids become very tired on the way home.  The group members were fun and very supportive.  We want to say thank you for coming to spend a little time with us.

The other visit was from a UN group stationed in Gonaives.  They apparently have a section there that will work directly with orphanages - especially if an emergency should arise.  They looked around this compound and the school compound.  They seemed to like what they saw here and enjoyed time with the children.  They told me they would definitely like to return.

Anne is now friendly quickly - not hiding away.

Bye for now.  We want to return.

On their way

I am including a photo of our two youngest children.  Sandra and Jonathan are inseparable.  Like all children they get upset with each other on occasion but they sure do love each other.

All our children are precious.  All need love and affection.  We hope and we pray that these two littlest ones, and the older children, will grow up to become good citizens and leaders of their country.  On the wall outside the mission it says,  "Orphans today, leaders tomorrow."   Let's continue to work together towards that end.

IT   IS    ALL   ABOUT   THE   CHILDREN
