Visitors!

Our team has arrived and has been here for a number of days already. Working hard with us we have Jim Kamstra, Joel Helder, Curtis Bowman, Natalie Plantinga, and Rachel Ysinga. They've had some good times already... nights of no electricity and the invertor dying, being able to enjoy the neighbours music till 5 in the morning, sweating at 6:30 in the morning b/c they are brushing their teeth... all the fun things about Haiti :)

But... they've also been working hard. They are working on building a tikay (little house) on the roof of the school for the four young men that live at the school, as well as building tables, staining, counting books etc, etc. While they are working on that a bunch of our sponsor students, some of our employees and some hired help are working on the concrete for the new classrooms where the old tikay used to be. Here are some pics to show you the progression of these projects.
