Thank you Team April!

What an incredible team from Canada we had last week! AWAKENHAITI was blessed to have a group of people so willing to serve in whatever capacity was needed, willing to not only get the necessary work done, but also to reach out to people just spending time, caring, loving! This is what it is all about... coming here to change lives, and to allow God to work in and through yourself. Time at Jacques' home was so very productive. This house would have taken years to build. Now it is well under way. But it not only is going to give Jacques a new place to live, it is going to give him a future, possibility for a family. This house is more than putting a roof over Jacques head, it is a new beginning for him!

At Freedom House Bethesda Orphanage, the ladies ran a very small medical day in order to begin doing regular check-ups on all the girls. Our plan is to do this at Good Samaritan Orphanage as well as Freedom Grace Orphanage within the next six months. We will then follow up with a check up for each child twice a year. This was a great start to being more involved with the children, and furthering our process of building families and homes as opposed to just orphanages, as well as being proactive for possible medical issues.

One last project was done in Canaan. We have been looking forward to this for a while now. Haitians were hired to build the foundation, then Team April came and built some walls and a roof over this building that will serve as an office for pastor Nathan as well as storage for the church and school. While the construction work was going on, we had a team painting existing shelters as well as a small medical pair doing some home visits for a few people/children with some medical conditions. Great work everyone!

THANK YOU!
