Update

Here's an update of some of what's been happening here at Leogane since the last post...

Things have changed alot in the last 3 months... Thanks to the many people that have helped out here so willingly!! We have been very blessed by those that have passed through this place!

What we say about the bright colors... is that we live in Haiti...  ;)

SHOWER HOUSE the new  bathroom for the haitian girls
(still being worked on, in this photo, but is finished now)

THE SCHOOL for our 6 girls and teachers



THE WALL-here's a section of the wall that was rebuilt (same place as the previous picture)

Doctors from an organization called Heart to Heart are staying here during the  week. They normally eat 2 meals a day with us and spend their days out at few different clinics. Lately they've been saying they're mostly seeing un-related earthquake illnesses. It has been interesting to hear all their stories, and we have had the chance to meet many amazing people.

HRM - mission from Labaleine have work teams and are building small shed/barn/houses in Leogane here. They are staying in the upstairs of the main house, and using our main kitchen. It has been good having them here, they have been great to work with! keeps things lively, plus the wash machines running!

We still have 9 girls here right now. And our yard ladies are coming and going... School keeps them busy and a little more on a schedule. There is still lots of chores to do, and sometimes I think they could bout despair.. But they are doing a great job.
