wow, hard to believe that it's almost may!! this is a very good thing, because it means hopefully seeing a little more sunshine here in Akron, but also because that means it's almost time to go back to Haiti on trip #4! plane tickets are purchased, passports are on the way - just a few short weeks away now!
Sarah Conner and Maggie Gannon will be leading a group down May 15-23, then a few more of us will be flying down May 23 to meet up with those from the first week that are staying for week two, while the rest of the week one team returns to Ohio. we'll work for that week, and all of us will return together on May 31st. all of us except Stephanie Kline, actually, who will be going for the entire month of May (May 6th- June 12th, actually), and Matthew Moore (from the last spring break team), who will be going with Stephanie on the 6th, and returning with the rest of us on the 31st.
complicated enough for you? haha.
while I wish that I could be returning to Haiti for more than nine days, part of the school situation right now is that I actually go to class, so unfortunately I can only go for week two on this round. never fear, there's already another trip in the works for August as well! :)
It will be great to have Sarah and Maggie leading the charge for the first week of this trip. I've had the privilege of seeing each of them grow in big ways over the last couple of years, and I'm confident they will lead this team well!
more details soon, but just wanted to give everyone a heads up on the goings-on.
love you all!
to Him be the Glory.

pictures!
figured it's about time to post some pictures of the goings-on in grand goave. here's a few of the Mission of Hope construction projects that our team has been a part of. great to see the progress! They have also just received a grant that will help fund construction of a new three-story school building on the back half of the church/school/orphanage compound! Construction is scheduled to start May 1, so I anticipate that our next two teams (mid-to-late May) will be helping with that project.
[this is only a few of the many, many pictures that various team members have taken, so check out facebook for more!]
the new sign out front of the church/school/orphanage compound! March 2011
the view of the church/school/orphanage yard, including the tarp roof under which church and school met for the first six months following the earthquake. Building on the right is where the kids live - two rooms for the boys, and one for the girls.
approx. May 2010
construction of the new roof/pavilion for church and school! June 2010
Sunday morning church under the pavilion. Summer 2010
beginning to dig the foundation for the new choukoun (pavilion) at the beach property. March 2010
choukoun progress... all the stone pillars are hand-chiseled by haitian laborers. amazing! June 2010
the finished choukoun! finishing touch will be a mosaic stone floor on top of the concrete.. still a work in progress. March 2011
more pictures to come!
