Ecumenical visit

We were visited this past week by Bishop Chilton, recently retired from the Episcopal Diocese of Maine. She's a good friend of Doctor Cynthia, our Medical Director, and wanted to see for herself what we are all about. She is now our friend. Come back anytime, Bishop.

Internet...grrrr

The internet has been incredibly slow these past few days. I can't post any photos. Bear with me as I have to bear with the Internet. Thanks.

R.I.P.

Mami LaMerci was one of our best housemothers and was with us almost five years. She was diagnosed with cervical cancer last year and passed this week. The kids who were in her care all those years are really saddened and shocked by this so keep them in your prayers.
LaChance St.Preux was one of our workers. He was a cobbler by trade, sewed our mattresses for us, and did all sorts of odd jobs. He died earlier this week as well. He leaves his brother, his wife, their three children and his wife's sister. Nineteen year old Marcnel is now the provider for this family. He's an apprentice mason with us. Join us in praying for LaMerci and LaChance. May they rest in peace.

Food Distribution Center

Here's a long shot of the Food Distribution Center with yours truly. The doors ARE forest green as hoped for. All the folks who worked on this building are very proud as they should be. Thanks to USAID and CRS for this opportunity.

Celebration

All the folks who had a hand in the construction of the food distribution center were invited yesterday to a little feast. Not everyone could make it but the majority who did had a great time. Photos of the group and the food lined up on the counter.

Latest news

Edy was transported to Port-au-Prince via TortugAir this afternoon. Fritzner accompanied him. They went directly to the best hospital in town. He will get a CT scan and an EEG tomorrow to try an establish the cause of his seizures. I spoke with his doctor and so did Doc. Mutty. The doctor's name is Albert Archange. His name in English is Archangel so we take this as a good sign and that he's in good hands. Keep praying, please.

A promise kept

A month and a half ago I announced the birth of a healthy baby boy to Berthony and Camille Piard. I promised you a photo and here it is. Above is Berthony, Jr who slept through Mass this morning.
