For all of the faithful collaborators and supporters of the Haiti Project, here is a quick update. We always intend to keep everyone currant but it seems like time fly's by, and we forget to update everyone. We are a very grassroots organization, everyone volunteers, so sometimes unfortunately we get behind.
We are preparing to leave on our eleventh trip. We are bringing a medical team and lots of mostly donated meds. We will also be surveying our newly purchased land. This property is for The Fr.Jim Bretl Agricultural Center. We need to discern how much money is needed to build a wall around the 4.5 acres. We will plant mango trees as soon as we can secure the property from goats and vandals. Once the mango trees are established we will the plant vanilla orchids. The mango trees will start producing in five years. At that point the center will begin to be self sustainable.
Our vision is to create training and jobs in an environment that you will feel the presence of Christ when you enter.
This center is a big vision but when we started the school lunch program that seemed impossible also.
Bob and Denise
