“Pigs don’t know pigs stink.” It is a saying I learned a few years back and will contiune to use if only to remind myself I can be, well to put it bluntly, a self centered American. Okay be offended if you need but beware of the insidious nature of entitlement, it can dig in […]
Pictures from April Hope in Haiti trip…
It was a whirlwind of a trip as always! The team celebrated Easter in Port-au-Prince and then traveled the four+ hours up north to Dessalines and then hiked the nine hours up the mountains to Kawo.

Kawo Sponsors
Kawo Sponsors! As you may have seen in the newsletters and blogs, we had a trip just return from Kawo and I am sorting through pictures of the school and your sponsor child as we speak. Be expecting an annual “fridge” card of your child in email and a hard copy sent by snail mail in […]

Serving in Haiti Now…
Hmmm… Tiredness is setting in, but today was a great day. Perhaps in part, because yesterday was really tough. Yesterday was the third day of scraping, wire-brushing and applying oil paint via brush and roller onto two buildings. But that wasn’t the tough part. It was the naked, humid heat on top of the work. […]
