PHOTO'S TAKEN FROM OUR BALCONY IN DOWN TOWN JACMEL




















Here are two pictures taken from the balcony of our mission house in down town Jacmel. The other photo is from the same location a couple of evenings later with lightning in the background... Good shots Marcus...

MEETING WITH MAYOR AND POLICE CHIEF OF JACMEL












We had meetings with the Chief of Police of all the south of Haiti and the Mayor of Jacmel. In our discussion we talked about their desperate need of repairs to broken down equipment and the costs to repair. To fix the two ambulances with new motors in each would be about $14,000. for both vehicles and to get a fire truck operating would be about $1200.
I talked to the Police Chief of my background in firearms training and offered my assistance to his police force. He immediate response was when could I start, so we are going to have our first training session on Monday morning with 30 of his men. Interesting point is they have no ammunition to practice with. I will teach them how they can practice without ammunition. Perhaps we can find a few cases of .38 special, 9mm and shotgun shells for them to send from Canada....

SOME OF THE TEAM HEAD BACK TO CANADA TODAY

In the picture with the team is Pastor Placide, Jack who is our driver, & Emanuel who has been a huge help to the team.. Neighbors looking on as the team prepares to leave.... Thank you all for making a difference.......

PAINTING OF ORPHANGE GOING GREAT






























The team hard are work painting the orphanage... Henry and Cathy working on the muriel, Rob and team rolling the walls and Rebecca painting the trim.....














VISIT TO THE LOAL FIRE DEPARTMENT











Visit to the local fire department in Jacmel found they are in desperate need of training and equipment.. The two ambulances do not work. Engines in both of them are ceased. There are 16 firemen that work combination Police and Firemen. You can see their gym for weightlifting, their bunks for the overnight shifts and one of the fire trucks is a 1957 vintage. The breaks do not work in this truck so they are down to one truck. You can see one of the firemen carrying a side arm as they can get called out on police matters at any time...... I see this as another way we an help to make it safer for the Firemen and the people of Jacmel to help in this area of need.....

HELPING HAND !!!


As I look at this picture of a little boy hold my hand the first though was lending a helping hand.... After looking at it for some time my question is who is helping who. Yes, by the grace of God we are able to make a huge difference in the lives of these precious children but in return they bring us so much joy... so the thought is who is helping who.... what a honor to have this opportunity.... thanks for being part of making a difference .... one child at a time....
Because of His amazing grace... Bob & Team
