Just a few more pictures yet to post from our July trip to Haiti. I get a little sad when I look at these and I have to force myself to post them, but it’s not because they are sad pictures. In fact, these are happy pictures of a brand new school for the children of Plaine du Nord, Haiti. Pardon me because I’ve said it before: it’s only sad to me because it feels so distant right now. When I went to Haiti about a year ago, my friend Beka had a chance to tour some of the “Starfish” schools – schools where One Mission Society maintains a sponsorship program which provides local kids with education and a daily lunch. The old school was quite decrepit, to say the least. (Maybe I can get Beka to send me a pic of the place and I will include it here as an update.) This new school was constructed with $58,000 provided by a group in Canada. It is amazing how far $58,000 can go. (My school here just finished a building project costing $18 million…)
