School Repairs are almost complete!

We have been ever so busy with so many projects after this devastating earthquake but God has blessed us beyond measure!!! He is our FAITHFUL FATHER!!!! AMEN and AMEN!! I want to share with you one of the many blessings that we have had. Jason Stamper, from Maryland has come and joined efforts with Lifeline to help engineer the reconstruction of our La Digue School that was badly damaged during the earthquake. The language barrier, limited tools, and not always having the materials needed made the job more difficult than usual, however, throughout the days Jason was able to relate and communicate with the workers and the job is miraculously being completed.

Sometimes simple chores are difficult for the Haitians because they are used to doing things one way and it is difficult for them to change. We are trying to show them a better way to construct buildings so that it is more stable. They are now applying the last layer of stucco and it will be ready for school to begin on March 15 as the government of Haiti has announced. We are looking forward to a team to come and help get the painting done and the chalk boards hung back on the walls. God is so good to us!!! Just HOW GREAT IS OUR GOD?!!!!! RIGHT ON TIME, EVERYTIME!!!!

Many of the people are still very timid to go back into buildings because of the earthquake. Very soon we plan to have a parent/teacher meeting to discuss the safety of the building so they can know that the children will be safe.
