Books All Around

We've been very busy since we arrived in Fond Parisien. The vast amount of work never seems to diminish. Yesterday was spent sorting books in the warehouse. A large donation had come in and the books needed to be sorted into various categories as well as different age groups. The children here in Haiti are desperate to learn and receive and education. As you might guess, they're extremely grateful and happy when they receive something such as books. Just look at the smiles on their faces.


Each child received two books. That doesn't seem like a great deal to you or to I, but to these children, the books were their treasures.

Each morning, Randy is responsible for going and meeting with the "Pikan" workers. Pikan workers are men who clear the area of the pikan bush (a bush covered in thorns). Sometimes the men can be less than motivated to do their job so they have some Randy Motivation each morning. Here's Randy along with Daniel and Daisy off to round up the workers for a meeting. Daisy is the older gentleman behind Randy. Not a face I'd generally put with the name Daisy but c'est la vie!

There is a medical team coming in next Monday for a week-long medical clinic. We'll be spending quite a bit of time this week sorting and preparing medicines and supplies for the clinic. Each day brings something new to learn, something new to see and someone new to meet. Of course, we wouldn't have it any other way.

God Bless
