Construction in Barbencourt

Last week we had a construction team here, half of the team was from Tennessee and the other half was from California. They were here to build individual homes for our upcoming orphanage in Barbencourt. Each morning at 6:00, they would leave our village in la Digue and head over to the worksite in Barbencourt. The team would also bring all of their tools with them. Screws, drills, hammers…. You name it!! Everywhere you looked, you saw someone either drilling or cutting wood for the sides of the house. It was just so neat to see how the homes were coming together. The Haitian people would come and watch us work. They looked at the houses with approval looks! At the end of the day we would step back and look at what we had done. We were progressing with our work! The last day we were there, we put tarps, windows, and doors on each house. That was the last step to do. They look so good! They are now ready for the children. They now have a house where they can cook inside, take showers, and be warm!!
