Tenth Anniversary Party

Tigre, Father Charlie, myself, and Herold getting ready for our anniversary party dinner.


Look at how nice the inside of the quad looked. Dino, Sonia, Frankell, and Sophia worked so hard at making the dinner special for Father Marc's anniversary of ESPWA.

Samedi and myself right before the spektak the children put on for our visitors.

Some of our special visitors included guests from organizations in town, Cross International, sisters from our neighborhood, and families of our volunteers.

A Video


By popular demand, I have downloaded a snippet of Fery (left) and Biondy (right) doing the ever popular Soulja Boy Dance. Maliste is filming... and obviously needs a little practice... but you can get a taste of their performance. We will be sure to make a better one to upload later on... maybe even post on youtube?

A Look Inside a Child's Room

Serool gave me this picture the other day. He is twelve. It is a picture of his room. All the boys that live with him are twelve as well. His room has four beds. There are ten boys that sleep in that room. You can do the math.

Help us help them.

United Nations Day

On Wednesday we had the Uruguayan UN come to Castel Pere to celebrate United Nations Day. They brought with them some pictures children from Uruguay had drawn in order to help our children better understand their country. In exchange, we sent home some Haitian drawings for the children in Uruguay.







After the exchange, a large screen was set up, and the children (look at all of them) were able to watch a film. They really enjoyed themselves. We hope to do it again soon!

Pierre Rino


Every afternoon, when working under the mango tree with the metal workers, I see Pierre Rino wrestle with the bull. His job is to take care of him, but it seems so difficult at times.








In a way, I think Pierre Rino and the bull are a metaphor to Father Marc and the project. This is his job, and he loves it, but a lot of the time he is doing a lot of wrestling.

Biondy's Blog


Biondy has started a blog of his own. I have linked his page under my "Places of Importance". Check it out! Toss him a comment!

Jean Wilson Update


Today Jean Wilson moved into the quad. He has been sick for more than two weeks now, and nobody can diagnose him with anything. His back is hurting, he aches all over, and he continues to get paler and skinnier. He had moved back into his room, but obviously that is not helping. Hopefully putting him under "Paige watch" will get him feeling better sooner. Here he is in his new room, right next door to me.

Please continue to pray for him.
