In March 2012, I will be returning to Haiti for my third trip since the earthquake hit in January 2009. This trip will be slightly different as I will be leading a team of engineers and scientist to our partner church of St. Philippe and St. Jacques in Corosse. The mission of this trip will be to begin construction of the water project and install solar panels to bring the first electricity to the school. At my company, AECOM, we have been doing fund raising to support this project and raised over $11,000. This will go to purchase the piping and concrete for the water project and solar panels and batteries along with paying for the labor to construct and install the systems. Our team will leave on Wednesday March 14 and return Tuesday March 20. Please keep us in your prayers as we travel and do God‟s work.

Simultaneously, St. George‟s is also continuing to support the school of St. Philippe and St. Jacques. The school has between 60 and 120 children and we have been paying for the 5 teacher‟s salaries ($5 per day per teacher). If you feel called to support this work, please make a check out to St. George‟s and in the subject line put Haiti Fund. We have also received a donation to purchase 20 bibles (in French Creole), 20 books of common prayer (French) and 20 hymnals to give to the church as a gift from St. George‟s. Hopefully labels can be made up to place in the inside covers stating who the books are from so the people will have a lasting memory. If someone is good at making labels, please let me know. What a gift these books will be.
