We are half-way there, friends! $2,690 contributed! Nothing could make me happier today than to hear that we have raised 50% of what is needed to build a well for our friends in the Blanchard community of Port-au-Prince! Thanks to so many of you, all of this contributed in less than 2 months! I am praying that God will continue to bless this project - so please continue to help me share the word. I plan to give this effort a real push this month, emailing to lots of friends and acquaintances, with the hope that the well might be constructed in 2008!
Last evening I enjoyed a brief visit with Rolph and Sobie Richmere from Haiti. Rolph is a doctor who has practiced in P-A-P and Cap Haitian; Sobie is a resident physician continuing her studies in Cap Haitian. Sarah and I met them on our trip in December. Their work in the medical field, together with our contributions toward clean water, can make a real difference.
Again, thanks to so many of you who have so generously given to this cause. Blessings to you all!

- As a lifelong Presbyterian, pretty set in my orderly and organized ways, my visits to Haiti have challenged me to reach out. While we may not know everyone by name, we can and should embrace each other as brothers and sisters in Christ. Food and water are necessities for all of us - yet the vast majority of Haitian people struggle to find clean water to drink and enough food for one meal a day. Let's work together to make a difference in the lives of others.
