This fall the school grew for the first time in three years. We now have 65 children enrolled between pre-school and third grade. This was an exciting step for us and the village, especially considering it coincided with the addition of 22 new children joining the local Haitian National School. That means altogether 40 new children are learning that weren't able to attend school just a few months ago. We owe it all to a beautiful group of women who love God and gave generously when they heard the call. Something about dozens of children watching from a far while others were being fed and educated, just didn't sit right with these ladies and then
they realized
they could actually do something to change that.
God is working on the hearts in this village and the hearts of the people right here amongst us. He's painting a new picture for a community which once lacked all hope.
Thank you, Ladies of The Loft!

Much needed school books and supplies
and uniforms for all!
