Hello to all followers of the HATS blog, thanks for doing so, and for your comments on the blog and/or on e-mail. Your words encourage me to keep it up.
The last water tank has been removed from the roof of this house and placed on the roof of the new water tower building . Now to find time to get all the plumbing for all four tanks hooked up and running properly again.
The two storage rooms below the tanks have been finished inside. By late today the construction workers were doing steps to those rooms. When the doors are hung and electricity is hooked up they will be ready for me to start moving stuff.
Work was done yesterday on the gallery of the Kid’s home and today on their kitchen. A sink needs to go in and the work on that house will be done. Then only painting, inside and out, will be left to do. That will be left for a workteam to take on.
This week there was a dental workteam in Borel. We were blessed yesterday with some of them, a dental hygenist and two assistants, coming to this mission. They checked and cleaned the teeth for all the kids and seven employees. All those seen were very thankful. Almost everyone around here needs dental work done but the possibility is almost nil. A beautiful 7-yr-old girl, Arielle, daughter of one of the women, was with them. She was a big hit. While dental work was in progress others of the team at Borel dropped by and a little brother to Arielle, Zach, came with them. He, too, was an instant hit. He and Ti Luc quickly became friends. My kids were all quite taken with Arielle and adorable little Zach. They love to have other kids here. Workteams come and workteams go. My kids are used to visitors, but seldom do they get children. Last time was when Liette came for Christmas with her four precious children. That was a wonderful Christmas for all the kids – Chocolate and Vanilla – different and very special.
All of us at the HATS-Haiti Mission are very thankful to everybody who comes and helps in any way.
Hebrews 6:10 – “God is not unjust; He will not forget your work and the love you have for Him as you have helped His people and continue to help them.”
Let’s continue to do all we can to help those in need. Together we make a difference.
Thank you everybody. God bless you all.
