Great week.  Sunday we had a group of Americans coming for a wedding here in Haiti. The group ended up being a total of 8 people.  What a great group. Rather than just sit around they wanted to be put to work. They graded roads...damaged by recent rains, did mechanic work,  organized pantries, cleaned shelving...the list goes on.  Thanks to the Indiana group for such a open attitude.
On Wednesday the team from New Work Fellowship in Hopkinsville, KY arrived.  All 15 of them.  Half of the team were first timers the rest had been here before. Their first three days were spent doing a Youth Camp for 100 youth from TiTanyen.  Several of the team members also did some construction...roofing, etc.
Such willing hands.  The praise and worship in the devotion time has been wonderful too.
Wednesday we had the Kindergarten graduates, the kids leaving the 3rd year of our morning school and the 4th year graduates of our Afternoon School here on the compound for a "play day".  We had the blessing of feeding them lunch before they returned to the village. Boy, do they love the fried chicken. 
Thursday we had Kindergarten graduation.  What fun. This is the first time we have done the graduation outside in the Kindergarten yard.  Lots of work but well worth it. Had to build a stage, put up tarps for shade and moved about 160 chairs from the compound and the school.  We had 38  5/6 year old graduates. What talent...some sang, some danced and some read and recited their parts.  Really really good.  My congratulations to the teachers.
