Well our first phase of our displaced people relief work ended last week. We would like to continue going full-steam, but unfortunately we just don’t have the time (with teaching full-time loads) or a location to make it work (since our school is being used for education most of the day). We are planning on doing a second phase, which will be scaled down a little bit, but still enough where we are helping a large number of people. We know that what we have been doing is making a difference, because our maid specifically has had 4 people from Port-au-Prince living with her, and she is ever so thankful for the help that Sonlight has given. Please contiue to pray for us! So far below is an updated account of the relief work that we have done.

This week begins our last week of full-scale relief work for the displaced earthquake victims from Port-au-Prince. Truthfully, we wish we could keep things going full force, but it is very complicated with everyone teaching full-time, and some of us teaching in the evenings when the distribution takes place. Our plan from the beginning was to do enough to get people off their feet and to help pour some money back into the local economy in the process to help keep things stimulated. This we have overwhelmingly done, and so here are the statistics:

Check out the Paintings
Category : Blog
Check out the paintings below. They were both done by one of my Bible College students, who is one of the few actual artists in our city. The first one you see is called “Life is Good,” and reflects a more traditional Haitian painting with the fruit and the smiling lady. The other painting is particular meaningful to us, because it is a reflection on the earthquake by a Haitian. Please enjoy!
