REASON TO PRAISE GOD
Good morning my brothers and sisters in Christ, First of all I'm sorry this news is so late, but we have been working very hard the last two months. In March we had our first American team in to help us with the school. They worked very hard and much was done, we now have three classrooms instead of only one. We are still putting the finishing touches on the third room, but two are complete. Our team was small , but God put together a GREAT team. There were members from four different states. All members came together to work for the one true living God.
This month we have been painting and decorating the two rooms. As I am writing this Wilbert and two Haitian men are doing cement work and painting the third room.
As you can see in the picures, the rooms are much brighter and cheerful. The children love it now. Along with the new paint we have made new chalk boards. In the up coming weeks I will be making more tables and benches. We hope to get rid of all plastic chairs, which are loaned to us from the church.
We have come a long way from the school we started in Carmeleta, but we still have some need for your prayer. Every month we have to struggle to pay the teachers ( they are lucky to get half of what they should get) We can correct this problem by getting more children sponsored. At this time we only have 15 children sponsored and we have 70 students. It is only $20.00 dollars to sponsor a child, Please speak to friends and neighbors about sponsoring a child. If we could get all children sponsored, we would have no problems.
These children come from very poor homes and mostly only one parent. They have no running water or electric in the concrete unfinished place they call home. Most don't have a bed to sleep in at night. They just love the school and can't wait to come. It's the only chance they have for a better way of life.
We want to open up to you a welcome to come down and see the child you sponsor and be a part of our up coming trip. We would like your input as to when we should have the next trip. In the past the trip to LaVega was always in March. We want to start planning a trip and need to get a date which is good for everybody. Please give us your input.
Thanks and may God bless you all, Earl,Shirley and Gabriel
