Our schools in Haiti have not started yet due to the gangs and insecurity. Just imagine, having all the boys and keeping them busy! In the States, they would be on the internet. But even if they had laptops or iPads, we don’t have internet most of the time! It takes fuel to keep the internet equipment on the mountain going, and there is very little fuel. And even if you find it, it is very expensive! Our kids don’t have TV, so we must find ways for them to work and yet have fun.

Jean Eddy is head of our construction team and is doing a building project under the guidance of Mark Ostrander. So, I decided to put the young teenaged boys on the construction team to do “grunt work!” Here we have Raphael, Colin, Yonel, Dorissaint, Moses, Stephano, and a few others. They have to stay with the team all day and “work,” but they have a good attitude! We are proud of our boys! They will help work each day until school starts!
