Today was a good day down here, cooler than earlier this week, only 90 with a nice breeze.

The enrichment classes have been progressing well all week.  After the normal grind at VOH, the newbies and I got a tour of the Food for the Poor facility, despite them cleaning up for the day so no food was being given out, but the scale of the opperation was still clear.  When we all met back at Hope House, we loaded up 25 boxes from Feed My Starving Children on top of the 30 we delivered earlier this week, and headed over to Sister Marie’s.

We spent plenty of time with the girls and Marie while construction on the second floor continued… many photo ops.  The church and dorms will be separate once the construction is complete, bearing in mind what the earthquake did.

Christoph not only worked as he always does most of the day out at VOH, but then makes his way over to Marie’s to help with the new church and dorms.  Upon returning to Hope House, the team sorted through 10 plus boxes of donated clothing, many of which were still sporting their tags.

Traffic has been interesting these past few days all through Croix-des-Bouquet, approaching upwards of two hours to travel from VOH to Hope House, and many tap tap drivers were supposedly on strike this morning due to political tension.

On a more uplifting note, Hoppie is returning to her old self, up and moving around as normal as she tries to avoid Peanut’s badgering.  So far, tonight has been the only dry night, despite copious amounts of lightning on the horizon.  For the most part, all is well down here, and we hope the same can be said for back home.  IUE.

God Bless,
