The blessings just kept coming during our week on La Gonave. Rika Lively and Terry Hand proved very able team mates who helped impact the community of Baie de Tortue, where Pastor Agones has his school (Village School East) and church. We connected through worship on Sunday morning, music, a fun day with the kids and leadership training for 25 community leaders. Using the CHE program, Ed lead them through leadership and community training using simple dramas and teams to brainstorm. This method allows the Haitians to come up with their own answers to many community problems. We backed it all up with the Bible, showing what God's word says about community and leadership. The last day we focused on health and sanitation, the trash problem and water quality.
On Friday,we hosted 41 orphans at he Wesleyan Compound for an afternoon of soccer, frisbees and jumprope, as well as coloring and making salvation bracelets. A big pink and white cake finished off the day. Having no play area at the orphanage, they all thoroughly emjoyed being outside.
