Monday Sheryl Brumley had a meeting with all our teachers and parents to discuss opening school. Lots of questions about the safety of the buildings, what about graduation since they've missed almost 3 months of school...what the kids could wear, etc. Only 2 children lost their uniforms in the earthquake so that is a blessing. We have one school director and one teacher who have taken jobs with Samaritan's Purse so we've had to scramble to fill these positions. Sheryl has done a wonderful job covering for me (Judy) in dealing with all these problems. School started on Tuesday and about 50% of the students showed up. This is normal as it usually takes about a week to get all the students back into the classroom after any kind of vacation or time off. I'm sure that by next week the classrooms will be full again. Oh, do we need some kind of normalcy in the lives of the Haitian people.!
The Brun's family left today for a 6 weeks furlough. They will be missed but are getting a much needed break from all that they have been through in the past 3 months.
David is still searching for trucks for the well drilling program and a gently used late model 15 passenger van. If you have any info that would be helpful on locating these types of vehicles let us know.
