Misc,

Here is a picture of the Manitoba Team.  They sure do clean up nice!  From the left:  Calvin, Nick, Anne, Rob and Frank.  They are standing in front of the collapsed Presidential Palace.Sunday morning, we had a the privilege of worshiping with First Presbyterian church once again, as we now have a location to meet.  It was great to reconnect with other church members and fellowship with our Haitian brothers and sisters.

Okay folks, check this picture out carefully.  Yes, that really is me doing some "real"work.  It was nice to be on the work site for a morning and be a part of the process if only for a short time.  Now we just have to decide what colours to paint the school, any suggestions? 

The fruits of my labour.  These will be the future classrooms.

This is the living quarters for the property supervisors as well as the enclosed part of the kitchen.
As you can see the team is really making progress on the new property. We hope, Lord willing, to start up the school before the end of the month of May. 
I thought in previous posts that I had clearly explained, the new property versus the old property but I've received some questions, so I'll briefly explain once again.  The school collapsed making the previous property unsafe to use for school.  We use the old location to distribute food each week but do not use the grounds or building for anything else.  We wanted to start school as soon as possible after the earthquake but there were very few places for rent and buying land here is always a difficult and time consuming process.  One of the pastors from our church offered to let us use the land he had purchased,  for the remainder of this school year and the next.  By September 2011 we need to vacate this property, which is why we are building a temporary school out of wood and tin, that can be disassembled and all the materials used over again.  The new property will be used for all the same programs as before, the school, the church, the medical clinic and the youth programs.  We praise the Lord for providing this property for this period of time.
