Trip Report In Jeannette, photos of school children were taken for sponsors to receive at renewal time. The children, like adults in Haiti, often do not smile for pictures! However as soon as the picture was taken, off they went grinning ear to ear! Work was done
on rodent-proofing
the medical clinic
and other carpentry
projects for
the presbyter
completed. Dr.
John Brusky traveled
to Mirogoane
to explore the
local public
hospital and
its services.
We also had time
for fun showing
Jeannette’s
first “outdoor
movie”,
and then having
2 more movie
nights in the
church! We enjoyed
walking in the
community visiting
friends and checking
on the water
purification
project being
used in most
of the homes
in Jeannette.
Not a trip goes
by without learning
new lessons about
how God works
in the world.
For this we are
always grateful.

He could’t
turn away knowing
this, so he gently
took them into
his truck and
set them up in
a small apartment
room at the Presbytery
where he lives
in Jeannette.
There he provided
them with warm,
dry clothes and
food to eat.
What to do next?
Over several
weeks he used
his own money
to have a concrete
block home built
for them, very
close to where
their home had
been. During
our recent trip,
the house was
completed. Pere
took the elderly
couple, and a
“load of
other people”
in his truck,
to their new
home.
