I am so blessed to be able to come to Haiti and work with these girls and travel to Chaveneau too this trip. Each trip has a different focus and this one has been filled with a variety of things- signing the contract with the pastor at Life is Wealth (LIW) orphanage to allow us to organize sponsorship for the orphans, delivering medication to people in Chaveneau we saw in early Dec. with the A-team, continue building relationships with the girls at LIW, work on getting long term assistance for food and clean water at LIW, deliver things to some friends in Carrefour, introduce our new Haitian Coordinator (Redgi) to our many contacts and partners in Haiti so they know him and will feel comfortable working with him (establish a formal job description for him as well), etc....
Here are some photos from the trip so far- We have been BUSY! Today we had a team of 17 from California come to play with the girls and build relationships. Tomorrow we pick up a friend (from the airport) who will stay for a few days with me at the orphanage. I can't wait to see her- it's been almost a year! Monday Redgi will travel to another town to work on arranging a monthly shipment of food for the orphanage. :) :)

| The water source in Chaveneau now- it is behind the new classrooms and will be used for showers, dishes, etc... the water comes from a spring up the mountain and is piped to this spigot and empties into this 55 gallon drum (they drink it but we certainly can't- they need to have it purified for themselves as well but it's at least closer than 1/3 mile) |
 |
| Another location for water- in front of the church (along the school driveway) |
 |
| Redgi filling a jug with ocean water to take home to his family on the return from Chaveneau- sooooo beautiful. |
 |
| Betina on the balcony at the orphanage- she still needs a sponsor! :) (hint hint- hahahaha) |
 |
| Rosamine still in the Christmas spirit! (also needs sponsored) |
 |
| "buddies" (Mylove and Sophia)- Mylove is not sponsored- Sophia is... the little ones are always hanging out together. |
