Overwhelming blessings

Teams are a blessing to our work in many ways, one of those ways is with all the wonderful donations they bring to us!  When I am back in Canada people are always asking me what our needs are, I'm always hesitant to reply because it is difficult and costly to send things to Haiti and whenever possible we like to buy local and support the economy.  However, we are still Dutch and have a hard time saying "no" to FREE stuff:)  Therefore, when teams come they often get donated school supplies and tools that are often hard to find here and expensive to ship.  The last two teams brought us a tonne of great school supplies, so much in fact I only have to buy a few things before school re-opens!!  So if you gave any school donations to either the Manitoba or Ontario team, I'd like to say a HUGE Thank you to you!  Your donations will be well used, I'll upload some proof once school starts.  As you can see from these pictures, my assistant Maia and I have been quite busy sorting through all the supplies and getting them ready for the teachers and students to use!
