Here are a few pictures of the some of the projects we have been working on...slowly but surely!
This is the guys sandbag dome house as of this morning...
Here is a structure that I put up in our yard that Kathy is going to use to display all of the products from the art section of Trade School Haiti...
Here is something that was amazing today. We got to go to the graduation ceremony of Trade School Haiti's first class of Certified Nursing Assistants. Martha Hanna spent the last three months here running a class from one of the classrooms in Jubilee. The pride on the graduates faces was amazing. The desire to learn here is unlike anything I have ever seen. Martha is the white lady!
Here are Valmy and Oscar. I didn't know until today that Valmy was in the nursing program. I know him from the English classes that I am helping to teach and from him being good friends with Chris Greene. I think there were 4 guys and 15 gals that got their diplomas today. What a great deal.
And this is a big reason why I love this place. Here is one of many happy little kids that runs up to give me a hug when I thunder into Jubilee on my moto. Thank you God for this opportunity!
I look forward to seeing all of my family and friends over the next few weeks. Please feel free to get a hold of me if you would like to meet up and hear some stories about the past two months and help me to dream about plans for next year in Gonaives.
Scott, I'm Floyd, the drummer from O'Neill. Your Dad told me about what you are doing and gave me your blog address so here I am. I was in Haiti for 5 days a year ago December. Most of us 10 were from O'Neill. We went with OMS and were in Cap Haitian on the OMS compound. It was during the elections and their was a lot of rioting and burning trash on the roads to stop traffic, UN and Police. I have a blog about it also. Go to the oldest posts to read about it. www.lordlunaticliar.blogspot.com It was a life changing experience. We were mainly a medical team helping with Cholera.
ReplyDeleteHi Scott. I'm Floyd's wife. I love that shot of the people working on the sandbag house... that sky is just fantastic. What a snippett of life down there.
ReplyDeleteAlso would like to have a little building like what is being used to sell the art work. That is cool! It looks like the place and what you are doing agrees with you--and many others!
I pray you will have much sucess with your teaching!
