Update

Wow! We've had a very busy and exciting week! The Kansas group did work in the new kitchen at the boys home. It's looking good. They put white tiles on the floor and worked on the counters. They also built a swing set for the children at the creche. Sabrina loves to swing. The Kansas team has left and we are now getting ready for the ACT group from Ohio along with Holly's group of 27 people total.

Here is a photo of Evens Joseph. His birthday is April 10, 1997. His father is still alive, but his mother died in 2000. She drowned in the big river in Gonaives. He has nine brothers and five sisters, all from six different women. He is the youngest. He used to live with his grandma but she is unable to care for him. He was brought to the mission on June 23 by one of his older sisters. Even is so loving and compassionate.
