April 2011 Trip

Just a couple days remain before I leave for Haiti!  Here are some of the goals for this trip:

One of the main goals for this trip is to organize our third annual Teacher's Conference (1st Teacher's Conference to be run by Haitian Teachers).  I will be meeting with Pastor Dorlean to determine who will actually teach the seminar.  We will be reviewing the program to be taught, pay, as well as other necessary details.

I will be meeting with Pastor Herod from the school in Grondin.  We have met with Pastor Herod twice previously and have made a commitment to take on his school by this fall for sponsorship.  We will be getting everything set up and review our accountability policy.

I will be meeting with the school Director, O'jemps in Lassoudray to discuss some issues that had arisen making it necessary to pull out of their community.  I want to encourage him and the teachers  to attend the upcoming Teacher's Seminar as well as to pray with them.

We will be purchasing French Bibles for last year's sixth grade graduates and reviewing a possible class bible program for next year.

I am hoping to find local resources in Haiti for future purchases of index cards, crayons, as well as supplies for next years Teacher's conference, etc.

I am very much looking forward to having a daily Creole lesson!! 
I am traveling with Pam & Luke Brochu of Haitian Ministries and staying at their mission house for the majority of the trip.
   I will try to post a few times as internet allows.  If you are in my group e-mail, you will probably receive a message that just says "new post" so you can visit this site.

Bondye Beni Ou!
