Fête du Drapeau

Happy Flag day everyone! Today is a holiday in Haiti as they celebrate the birthday of their flag. Here Maia is showing off her patriotism to her "home"countryThings at the temporary location are continuing to take form. Unfortunately the backhoe still hasn't arrived but the team is still making good use of their time finishing off a lot of little odds and ends. Today they worked on tables and benches, cementing the clinic floor, painting blackboards, welding up the water holder, and organizing the tool room... the job list never seems to get shorter!
Yours truly actually did a little bit of work today and I've got a photo to prove it!

We are anxiously awaiting the team's return home. We hope that they have completed most of the work needed to reopen the school. We are looking forward to seeing 'Dad' tomorrow night.
