They were joined by our friends from Indiana: Matt, Babs, Grace & Vivian Edwards & also Maryann from Washington. Thanks for being a wonderful part of our family during the Thanksgiving holiday!

Edigar & Sons Team visit to Rivers of Hope adoption orphanage...

Sunday afternoon...this one is for all of you adopting parents out there who are waiting to take your child(ren) home from Rivers of Hope here in Haiti.

Edigar & Sons team stopped by to take your children some warm blankets & to play with them a bit. Some of these team members were here earlier this year & built storage shelves for Rachel in the children's home.

We hope you enjoy the following pics. The team had a blessed time with all of the children.

We also took time out to stop at the M-T-M Laboule Children's Home.

A job well done!

Edigar & Sons team did a great job this week!

On Wednesday they were able to get a sneak peak as the M-T-M Gramothe elementary school had their chapel time...



After loading up at the M-T-M Gramothe workshop the remainder of the makings of 16 cafeteria tables & 32 benches, the team was off to Dumay...

As they crossed the river to Dumay they could see what used to be the edge of the village of Dumay before tropical storm "Noel" passed by...

Notice the trees standing alone in the river. This used to be the edge of the village.

One can easily see where the mud has washed up in the village. Looking closely to see a mud line on the trees.

After arriving at the M-T-M Dumay school, the team quickly finished their work with the cafeteria tables & benches...

90 bags of rice were purchased by the team & in celebration of the M-T-M Dumay school cafeteria being finished, the rice was distributed to the Dumay villagers who came...





Aside from the rice distribution, cafeteria benches & tables, the work done at the M-T-M Dumay school by the Edigar & Sons team for the week consisted of...

*putting tin on the cafeteria roof,

*helping to pour the cement floor &

*building storage shelves inside of the cafeteria kitchen.

~

Back in Gramothe on Saturday, all the work was finished up...

*32 computer stations,

*8-4'x8' book shelves &

*22' study table all in the new M-T-M high school library!

~

In addition, at the M-T-M Gramothe school the Edigar & Sons team built...

*a soccer ball trough,

*4 desks for high school teachers,

*additional black boards were installed &

*repairs to existing school tables & benches were done.

After the work, it's time to play! A walk thru the village is always a treat. You never know what you'll see!
