The books finally arrive.

Mark Brodie helps the kids transfer boxes of books to their new home. Mark is volunteering for two months this summer.
A group (TAQUISWA) of friends from Belgium heard about a book program so they inquired and discovered that thousands of new books of all kinds were available for poor countries. Taquiswa took care of the paperwork and fees and the books were on their way here. Unfortunately, they spent nine months on the docks in Port-au-Prince (let's not go there) but they are here now.

From a shack to a home


Aye looking out the door of his family's home about 4 weeks ago.

Work is well underway two weeks later.

Finished home for the Charles family and, boy, are they proud and happy people. Notice the two little potted plants that Aye's mother put on either side of the front door? Neighbors and friends have been dropping by to congratulate them and to satisfy their curiosity. The best part in all this was that the whole family participated in the project. We are deeply grateful to TAQUISWA of Belgium for sponsoring this home. God bless your generosity.
