We had a team come in to do miscellaneous projects around our campuses, but also brought in a Dentist who worked on all of the HAFP kids teeth and missionary families! Addyx had a bad cavity and he was able to do a filling right here in Haiti on the table top. This is such a blessing and she was a trooper. We all were able to get a cleanings and check ups. In all, he saw 30+ kids, some staff and all the American families serving here in Grand Goave.
Every six months or so we have a special group of doctors and nurses that come in and pour into us, our staff and kids with check-ups, supplies and specialty health classes. This is an amazing blessing as they bring so much encouragement and information that is so needed and important, for everyone here at HAFP. I love that they do not only come to serve, but to empower and encourage our Haitian staff we have set up at HAFP.
We were also excited to host and partner with Jessica with Sa Voix. Sa Voix is a new endeavor here in Haiti, using art as therapy to help Haitians process things in their lives, especially many moments that are difficult and painful. She held 2 sessions for our girls, as they were introduced to different art medias and had the opportunity to learn how to use them as they reflected and processed things in their lives.
Also, intertwined in all of the guests last month we have watched the older boys step out into greater responsibility as they moved into their own transitional house in the community, which allows them to continue to grow into who they will become here within Haiti and their own community. Although we work to build a Transitional Plan, the day to day growth these kids experience with each other and our staff is what really helps them prepare for their future.Thank you for continuing to follow us through this journey called life in Haiti. May we all choose to follow Christ in the way He has planned for our lives.
