Still Working

Sherry has a team of four people in from the states to do a VBS with the children from the school. Since they are here and we needed help clearing the spot for our soccer coach, we decided to allow them to help :) They were so tired after the first day! The team has never been to Haiti before and they also said they have never worked so hard in their lives! This is HARD work! They helped move the rest of the rocks, and the gravel pile! The only thing left was to cut the grass and get rid of a dead tree. Now in Haiti they do not have lawn mowers, so we had to use what the Haitians use....a machettie!! We did not allow the children to use them (although some where pretty skilled with one). The adults and workers cut the grass, and after pushing and pulling the tree finally came down! We still have some clean up to do and trash to burn, but this project is coming to an end!! We are having so much fun, and I cannot even express my love and excitement for these children! They are amazing, and each day that I spend with them my heart grows more for them!

How many children does it take to take down a tree?
