Wednesday, February 27 I will board a small plane and head to the island of Cuba! This will be my first trip to Cuba! Traveling with just one other person, we will leave Miami late morning and land in Havana by noon. Living Waters for the World In-Country Coordinator Moraima Gonzalez will meet us at the airport and serve as our host and tour guide for the day. We had originally thought the next day we would board a bus and travel all the way to the eastern edge of the island to Holguin. Thankfully, Moraima worked out a plan for us to take a small plane over! This made my stomach very happy. In Holguin, we will meet with the Superintendent, Clerk and representatives from Cuba Yearly Meeting. We are hopeful to come away with a signed covenant agreement to partner and install clean water systems in the Holguin area. What a true blessing it will be to work with my Quaker Friends and the mission organization I love.The Cuba trip will come to an end on March 5. With just a quick turn around, I will take off for Haiti on March 14-30. This will be an exciting trip serving first with my favorite team from Herndon, VA. After their solar-powered water installation in Cazale, I will take a few days for R&R and then meet my new, rookie team from Las Vegas, NV. They will be installing a solar-powered clean water system in Philadelphia, near Gonaives. This will be such an exciting trip, as I will travel much to meet with current partners for follow up evaluation of their systems, and we will meet with potential new partners and future installations.
For all of this traveling with Solar Under the Sun and Living Waters for the World, and for our mission to succeed, we cannot go without YOU! While my packing has not yet begun, I know one thing I will not leave home without! PRAYER PARTNERS! Would you be interested in praying for me and the team one day during our trip? We will also lift you in prayer that day.
