Rafters up; before and after of the old school and now the new!
A sight for sore eyes!
Americans and Haitians have collaborated on the construction of the new school.
One word: Hallelujah!
It took quite a bit longer than expected, but the roof is finally up on the village community building. Speaking of expected, we never expected many of the things that have happened in the past two years, but none of the challenges have deterred us or derailed the vision for this village - the vision to educate the children and transform the village.
Come this Fall, 50 school children will be attending classes in an actual school building for the first time. As they leave their thatched canopy - the only school they have ever known - behind, we are excited to see what God has in store for this community and how many more children will be educated within the walls of this new building.
It's not finished, much still needs to be done, but progress has been made and progress will continue so long as we all collectively work together, sharing, giving, sacrificing, and loving the people of Bayaha. They have hope for a better future. Pray God uses us to that end. He is the only thing that has got us this far and He is our one true hope!
