Began this beautiful day at 6am  Mass….give or take a few minutes. It is Haitian time. The day really starts with 125 clangs on the church tower bell. Afterwards we toured the parish garden down the road adjacent to Madame Fe, a parish council member. He plans to sow 100 Jatropha trees, along with corn, & beans. The nursery is covered & has seedlings of plants. We saw cotton, beans, plantain trees. We toured Madame Fe’s house,one of the more prosperous houses. We will share pictures soon.

When Fr B was having a clean water conference with the students, we went to Zanmi Lasante the Partners in Health clinic to bring 3 prospective candidates for Healing the Children program. They neede xrays which took roughly 3 hours long…no fast track ER in Cerca La Source. We hope they can be accepted into the program.

We have had numerous problems with the computer & this is actually the 3 time in getting this blog off….it has cuts off frequently.

The Carnival at school was so exciting for the kids. They had a variety show, music, dancing, singing & a terrific soccer game. They had many costumes & masks for the Mardi Gras festival. EGR white vs. EGR blue. The players really enjoyed the donated soccer balls, uniforms & shoes. The cow was served with coleslaw, rice & beans……a special treat.
