| The Water Building at Cafe Lompre |
"Sevi ak dlo sa-a, sevi ak dlo sa-a, se bon dlo, se bon dlo!"
That's creole for "use this water, use this water, it is good, it is good!" Now imagine it being sung by 75 elementary students! Oh, it was precious!
Ancy & I taught several health & hygiene classes in the community of Cafe Lompre today. We first taught a class of 40 young adults. They acted up luke teenagers, but they sang the song with gusto! Afterwards, we went to an elementary school and had the opportunity to speak to 75 children! The children were vibrant and inquisitive. They loved participating in the activities, and I was surprised at how much more knowledgable they were than their older siblings and parents. They were so well behaved, and their teachers were so thankful and very involved. It was a privilege to be at their school.We stopped in to Mannes' school again, just to say hello and take a few pictures. By the time we returned on site, the system was complete and the trainers had been trained!
After lunch and good discussion with the brothers, the covenant was signed! And thus ends a wonderful day in Haiti!
One other thing of note... The final days until the election are approaching! Campaigning is in high gear for the two presidential candidates. Let us all pray for peaceful elections on Sunday!
Tomorrow we head back to Fondwa, where we hope the "situation" has been resolved and we can begin to pump water! The dynamic duo of Ancy & Ashley will be back in the classroom...and a new community will be ready for clean water!
Praise be to God!
