As we prepare to go back to Haiti we have some very difficult challenges in our path... I had posted awhile back when I was in Haiti that I had heard rumors that riots would break out in May and was hoping they would not come to pass... there were riots even in Jacmel today which is unheard of... many fires and rocks thrown through windows...there were also riots in Port au Prince and some people were shot and killed... this is something that probably won't make the news over here... It looks like there is a group of people trying to overturn the Government......there is a little cement getting in but the price has gone up several dollars per bag...
...it looks like the UN has decided not to move families up to our property in Chabin as they feel it is too far from the city... we just want to help where ever we can...we do have many plans for development of this property whether they move or not... things could change as things seem to fluctuate from day to day...
....Rylee from the TV station and Amanda from the News Paper will be traveling with me to Haiti on this trip...they will have many stories to report when they get back to the Hat... we will be meeting several other people coming in to help with our projects from Canada and the States...
....as soon as we get the wiring finished at the orphanage and electricity hooked up, the orphans will move back into the house... it will be such a blessing for them to not have to sleep outside ... it has been a long haul... we have a team from the States that have been helping with this...
Pictured above is a fatherless family from the mountains in our Chabin region.. the children attend our Chabin school...
We need your continued financial support and prayers... we hope to have 56 schools open with 13,000 students this fall... this will only happen if we can raise the money... if your business, church group, school or family are looking for areas to help in financially, here are a few examples...
School books $7. per child for all their books.
School uniforms $15. per child
Support a teachers $120. per month.
Support a cook...$75. per month
Support a Pastor $110. per month
We are still in need of funds to purchase land in Jacmel to relocate our school... $75,000.
We are still in need of a large tent that would hold about 2000 people for our Jacmel location.
We are in need of funds to purchase the land to develop the coffee plantation... $37,000.
We are in need to raise funds for the shipping of food and transportation of the food
once it gets to Haiti... $80,000. for 4,000,000 meals....
The cinder block plant is close to completion... the walls are finished... the steel gates are being built.. we are not able to get enough cement to build the foundation for the equipment as yet but hopefully soon. ... I will post pictures when I return to Haiti...
Please pray for our protection.... THANK YOU FOR MAKING A DIFFERENCE... ONE CHILD AT A TIME..... Bob & Linda
