Team Haiti May 2012: One Week In

The first week of Vacation Bible School (VBS) is done for Team Haiti.  Everyone has worked hard, gotten along well and enjoyed themselves.  We are very thankful for each one who has come and given of their time to help the children of the Lagonav churches grow.  Below are some picture moments from the first week on the ground.

The team arrives at the Port-au-Prince airport in a sea of redshirts

Lots of bags to haul to the island of Lagonav so we can be well fed and well prepared for the kids



Elijah checks out the roof of the guest house and our ever expanding neighborhood in Ansagale



The trips out to the churches are not without their challenges - here we make a quick stop to change a tire losing air



A beautiful sunrise highlighted by the mountains of the mainland



Singing with the kids - "Read your Bible, pray every day, and you will grow"



Lessons are in full swing at Gran Lagon as the completed crafts hang from the church ceiling



A new game this year was playing with the parachute donated by a thoughtful teacher from the Middletown, PA Orthodox Presbyterian Church



You see lots of recent technology on Lagonav including cell phones and motorcycles.  But you also see scenes like this older lady riding her donkey to market



Lots of driving to and from the churches - here Elijah gets to try his hand at the wheel of the Kawasaki Mule as we traverse the salt flats
