Hello Family & Friends!
We started our first day with the children at Grand Guave Orphanage teaching health/hygiene lessons. What an experience to teach, play, sing, and laugh together! The health education today was on germs and hand washing. Megan made up a song to teach the kids to sing so they wash their hands sufficient amount of time. It was so rewarding to see them use the hand washing stations – called Tippy Tops – later in the day all on their own. They were also treated with a skit performed by Keneshia and Keith playing the parts of Ms. Water and Mr. Soap- we caught it on video for your entertainment when we return!
We began the installation of the water purification system. The first task was to move brick and build two bases for the tanks. There is a natural spring that will serve as the water source and we fit tubing to connect the hand pump that will be used by the children to fill the tanks with water. Thank you “tank crew” Bob, Wayne, Gary, Jon, John, & Keith. We also got to spend an amazing day with the children.
We want to thank all our Beargrass and Mt. Nebo families for supporting our mission work in Haiti. The wreckage and rubble is everywhere and it seems an overwhelming task to restore the country. We will take it a day at a time and do our best to do God’s work as He directs us.
