Flip Flops

While in Haiti, we will serve at the Good Shepherd School in Pele. The school's enrollment is nearly 1,300 students, all of which are able to attend because of donations to Haiti Child Sponsorship. We will be involved in several projects during the week of our visit including re-building facilities and making crafts with the children in the afternoons.

We have chosen a craft that is fun and practical. Flip flop embellishment is our plan as we work with 50 students each on three afternoons. I have unearthed 80 pair of child-sized flip flops around town thus far and will finish the shopping in the next day or two. Along with the shoes, I have collected/purchased ribbons, buttons, small toys, balloons, flowers, etc. to glue on to the straps. One very large suitcase will hold these treasures when we fly down in one week!

Haitian Proverbs...

Deye mon gen mon.

Behind mountains are more mountains.

Ayiti se te glise.

Haiti is a slippery land.

Lavi a se yon boul k ap woule ou pa konnen kote I ap rete.

Life is like a rolling ball, you don't know when it will be stopping.

Build Us Back

In Just 14 Days...

In just 14 days, we will be on our way to Port-au-Prince to spend spring break working at The Good Shepherd School. This trip, a much anticipated and prayed-for event, was originally scheduled for last year at the same time. But as we all know, a devastating earthquake ravaged a country that on a good day, couldn't stand on its' own two feet. Our trip last year was to be a combination of tourism and service. The trip this year will be all service because there isn't any tourism. Our team of 10 are in agreement that this trip will be better.
