Team #3!

If you don't think of blogging as competitive, you've never worked with Randy and Karen!  When it comes to blogging, we never like to be too far behind each other.  Yesterday morning I attempted to write an entry but the internet was not co-operating, so I went down to the property to do some painting, last night I checked Randy and Karen's blog and they had two new entries!  This morning I checked again and they had another one!  Now I'm three entries behind, I thought about doing three small entries this morning just to keep the number even, but decided instead to just have one great big one:)   So here goes:
We have a new team here right now from Ontario.   Martin, Rick, Howard, Harry, Dave and Dave.  They are a pretty energetic bunch and are eager to knock a few items off Randy's to-do list.  They have only been working two days and along with their Haitian co-workers they have accomplished A LOT.

My new office is starting to look pretty good.This is a pre-fab home that we will be using for the medical clinic. Dr. Ed is eager to start up his clinic again, and we are thrilled that he'll be returning to work with us.This is the future kitchen, there is an overhang to keep the sun out and a nice new stove.  Manman Manise and Molina will enjoy this new location.Here is a picture of the yard.  On the far left is the medical clinic, the white building in the middle are the offices and on the far right are the classrooms.

Karen had an opportunity to meet with some of the sponsored secondary students this week.  Their schools have been functioning for a little while already, so we wanted to meet and review our expectations for them.  Many of them have been volunteering at the yard in the afternoons, which we really appreciate.  As we are hoping the school will re-open in one week, they will be responsible for coming by each week to help keep the school clean.
