Working with boys

We have had a busy week in Haiti! It was so nice to take a break for a day, last Thursday, we drove to a small town near Jacmel to look at a water pump. The technology used doesn't require any gasoline or electricity--what a blessing!! So the only repairs need to be done are post storms (Hurricane Sandy). The water provides clean and safe water to a school as well the surrounding area. I didn't understand The entire process completely but that's why God gives different gifts to each person!


The drive up the mountain was beautiful and a little bumpy. The view though was gorgeous--mountains and all the vegetation! It's just a beautiful part of Haiti. One of my favorite moments was trying to cross this little strip of land that was damaged from Hurricane Sandy. After measuring our tire's width and the width of the road we decided to go for it!


Guesthouse 1 has been empty for two weeks since there has been only one team. We have been able to work on a few projects around the house. To me it seemed like the boys needed an excuse to dig a big hole and play with some rocks :)


Salsa--Maxim and Jourbert have been helping with night security which means they are also able to engage in some late night salsa lessons! Jourbert, who is a construction supervisor and Jean's brother has been such a joy these past few months. We are excited that Guesthouse 2 is almost complete!!


Today Caroline flys into Haiti! I'm excited to see her and spend the week with her. The following Saturday Sophia will be coming for her spring break as well. Looking forward to showing them Haito and the blessing it is to me.

  1. Hurricane Sandy still bears its teeth! Also, that is a most flattering picture of your sisters. Particularly the baby.
