Well, we had a wonderful time with the team that was here for the past 12 days. Here are a few snapshots of that time.
Kevin and Gerald working on the sidewalk by the entrance. Below, we have Nicole and Julianne getting their mortar ready.
Kim and Carina doing something, I am not sure what it is, but i think it is work...Lots of Education Committee work!
Nicole, Julie and Reginald laying block, building the garbage bins.
Garbage bins - the finished product! Also, I can't forget Julie's step in the background !!

Haiti scores another goal, much to the delight of all the children...
Julie and Julianna with the video camera, taking lots of footage of Haiti.
Our vehicle broke down on Saturday, so we took a tap-tap around everywhere. A real Haitian experience.

The team was able to accomplish many tasks, and they had a lot of fun doing it. Here is a list of some of the things they did:
Painted inside of school/ Built concrete benches for outside by entrance and a re-did concrete sidewalk by entrance/ Built benches for Medical waiting corner/ built garbage bins/ fixed water drainage pipe/ worked on plumbing, putting in mirrors, tp holders, sink, etc/ put up pencil sharpeners/ built shelves/ worked on water drain off on roof/ a concrete step down to garbage bins/ cleaned up food room, raised shelves, installed more screen, and made it rodent proof/ finished off sun shades/ put up some razor wire at our house/ fixed plumbing at our house/ hung up posters and pictures in school/ built chalk board brush holders for each chalk board.
A huge thank-you to this team for all the work they accomplished, and also to all those who supported them to come down. We truly appreciate it. Thanks also to those who continue to hold us in prayer, and who are fellow labourers in this work, and who do so much of the behind the scenes work. You have refreshed the hearts of the saints, and we pray that all this work that you have performed would not ony supply the needs of God's people but would also overflow in many expressions of thanks to God! We pray that people would come to praise God for the obedience that accompanies our confession of the gospel of Christ, and for your generosity in sharing with them and everyone else! Soli Deo Gloria.
