Just an update and some new photos for those that may be interested.
The landlord was not going to renew the lease on the building used for the church and school so Joel-the pastor I am helping-had to find a new location and fast.
Thanks to many people here in Canada we were able to raise enough funds to secure a new location in Charimicos to rent and a few companies donated vitamins, medicine, and school supplies.
There are now over 30 children in the school and even a few Dominicano children.
The church is now working with a local Dominicano church as well bringing the two groups of people together-Dominicanos and Haitianos.
It was a great trip and very successful.
Please check out the attached link and visit the last two galleries for the latest photos.
