Haiti - Update #9
Wednesday evening, 12/29/10, 8pm
Hello, Friends & Family of the Haiti Interns...
I just got off the phone with Greta... her call came in two installments tonight, because Noelle Gonzales called as we were first talking, and I assume there was stuff to talk about regarding the Frontier Camp trip next week, which Noelle is part of. Noelle has been to Haiti several times, too, and will return with the group on Jan. 5th but will stay down there all semester, I believe. After Noelle's call, the guys were organizing things in their "house" (in the common room, used as a tool-shed/garage, etc...) so she called back after helping some with that.
The Valcins have been at camp since Sunday night. When the Valcins are at camp, they have a special person who comes to cook for everyone (Alicia.) Tonight they had GOAT lasagna... Greta said it was pretty tasty but the butchering of the goat was very different than anything she's seen in her animal science classes at TAMU! Haha!! (I'll let them tell you about it later.)
Two cabins are completely done, regarding the bunk beds, etc. There are still a couple of cabins on the hill that need flooring put down first, before they can assemble the beds inside. The Haitian workers are doing the flooring, but the team has done all the side-boards, etc. so that they can assemble them quickly inside the cabins, once the flooring is completed. Since they were at a holding-point because of the floors in the cabins on the hill, the Valcins took them to the beach for a rest-day with their daughters home for the Christmas break. Greta said it was very nice, relaxing, and fun.
The Valcins leave for PAP tomorrow, to be "home" for the New Years celebrations there. Their daughters go to school in the US, so will leave in early January to come back to TX. Once the FC team arrives on Jan. 5th, Betty & Gersan will accompany them to Jacob's Well. Everyone is looking forward to the camp that will occur that week!! If any of you received the Frontier Camp newsletter that came out today, there is an article about Haiti and a picture of two Haitian girls that were displaced after the earthquake but are now living up in the area of JW and plan to attend camp next week!! God is ALWAYS at work in EVERYthing. How wonderful when we can be a part of it!!
