FINALLY AN UPDATE


Greetings in the Lord,

We realize it has been WAY TOO LONG since we have been on here, or posted any photos.  So, we will try and do an update that fills everyone in.  Before we post the photos of the children, we will let you know what has been going on. 

Our school here at the compound is doing well.  All of our children are in the school now.  We have kindergarten and first grade.  We have 4 teachers, one part time teacher, and the woman who cleans is a helper.  We also have a principle.

We are in the process of putting a third floor on the orphanage.  We will move the children up there when it is complete.  It will be cooler for them, too.  The 2nd floor will be dining room, offices and storage for items, medicines and supplies. 

The marenga project has been a huge help for us.  With feeding, but also with health issues.  We also now have a new ride-on lawnmower, donated by Orchard Hills Church. 


What a blessing and time saver for us.  We can now have more area for the children to play.  Also it will make it easier to have large gatherings for Bible study, Kids Fest and other things.

We worked on the wall and it is very close to being all around the whole compound. We had a garden, but we also had a draught and it killed our garden.  Then we had the horrible rains, but it was too late to save our plants.

We were blessed by Missionary Flights International.  Someone had donated clothing to them for Haiti.  They sent us a lot of things for our children.  What a wonderful help that was.  Mr. Stan Curtis and his wife, Gloria, also helped us with clothing and food.    Wills Valley church in Alabama also sent us a lot of clothing to help out.  God has richly blessed us with all the wonderful help we have received.

We now have 30 children.  Just recently we have added 5 more to our home.  All 5 of these are girls.  We’ll list them with photos.  The 6th child, also a girl, we just received yesterday, so do not have her photo yet, or her name.  If you know of someone who would like to help support these children, we would be very happy.  Please refer them to Mr. Remy Fils-Aime.  They can do this through:  idadeekids@yahoo.com.  

It may take us several postings to get all of our children and their photos on here.  Please have patience with us.  Internet access is not always available. 

Thank you for your time and for being there for us.  We appreciate your prayers and support in what we are doing here in Haiti.  

May the Lord Bless you.
