Chaveneau Photos

Some photos of Redgi's four days in Chaveneau that you may not have seen yet:
Some of the food provided by Paulos- THANK YOU!  

Unloading at the last river before you cross into Chaveneau.... 

Loading up the food to deliver-  Praise God for most of the truck cost being donated by Haiti Awake and their staff!
Another shot of unloading at the last river...

So... for those of you who have never been to Chaveneau.  There are three rivers to cross.  One is the LARGE one, one is the smaller one where there is a foot bridge (not for vehicles, though we had to drive on it because the truck could not get through the mud) and then a third river which has no bridge.  The first two trips to Chaveneau this river was unable to be crossed, but as the week went on, they were able to get all the way into the village and cross this last river.  Praise God.
The guys had to wade through the last river to go into Chaveneau to meet with our friends (Isaiae, Manuel, Marie-Rose, Robinson, etc... ) to discuss how to handle distribution of materials.  
The truck slid in mud up against this tree.... and sliced the tire in the process.

The lug nuts were smaller than the tool provided by the rental company.  The tool to release the spare from under the truck was missing. So.... a two hour "trek" around the town of Chantal began- to find what was needed to put on a spare! 
This is from the top of the truck- looking across to the access road into Chantal.  This river is normally large, but with all the rains, it is VERY large.  Thank God it went down enough to cross with the truck and 4 wheel drive.  
Crossing the foot bridge- barely wide enough for the truck, but the only choice.

  1. Wow! These pics are incredible. It's really shows the depths those amazing people went to, to bring supplies to the people of Chevaneau. We continue to pray for the people in Haiti and your ministry, Crystal.
