A month has come and gone since I joined Brian in Haiti (he’d already spent several weeks on the island, in the DR and Haiti, continuing to get things ready for the summer) and A LOT has happened.
The interns arrived, had orientation and did camp prep and painting.
Our first group of the season, Levy from AR, arrived. Great jump start of the summer with pouring a cement floor for the 2 new class rooms at the Lagosette school, scraping peeling paint off the church building, moving blocks to set up for the next group’s project. Much got done and everyone had a good time. The groups come in prepared to do 2 VBSs in their week and Levy did an outstanding performance of the Lost Sheep, Coin and Son. They also came with the idea of having a mini-World Cup challenge. The kids loved it!

Second group came from Searcy, AR, which was a mix from Cloverdale, Downtown, and a handful of friends and family. They continued to help with the work at the school and church, as well as pour a cement roof for a brother in Christ who has been a faithful worker in construction of Manna’s buildings for the past 18 years. Their VBS was based on Noah and the Ark, showing HOPE in troubling times….very impressive for a team that was thrown together at the last minute. Shows what can be done when one puts their mind to it.
Thanks for your hard work and labor of love, Levy and Searcy!
