The work is started on the foundation for the water tower. Due in part to the rising cost of materials in Haiti in the wake of the earthquake, the repairs are going to cost significantly more than we orginally thought. We have to go ahead and do the work and are trusting that the funds will come in. Thank you to everyone who has contributed so far!
The school was also badly damaged in the quake. Two walls are completely down. The debris will need to be moved and new walls constructed. This is a priority so that we can soon get our children back to school.
Serlande, one of my “daughter”s in the children’s home si gravely ill. She has been in hospital for a week now and we thought on Sunday that she was getting better because she recognized me and asked for water.
Now, Serlande has taken a turn for the worse again. She is having difficulty breathing, is unresponsive and is on oxygen. She has already been on IV antibiotics for a week but is getting worse. The hospital needs to do some urine and blood tests but does not have the materials.
I am going now to see her doctor and ask if I can maybe find the testing materials in St. Marc. Please pray for Serlande!
