Yes, I am back in Haiti. Why so soon, you ask? Because I learned on my last visit that besides the monetary support, the various building projects, and the medicinal and other much-needed supplies donated, there is great value in the children knowing and experiencing that they are loved. I wasn’t too sure on my last visit how much help I would be with projects in the heat and throes of (somewhat) aging knees and back. […]

However, as you can see in the picture above, the road conditions permitted any trucks to enter Francois’ compound. Unforutnately, there is only one entrance to Francois’ compound.

We are having a great time. It’s hot, hot, hot, hot, hot outside! We are SO thankful for the solar power energy that allows us have fans blowing on us […]
