It's so very crazy here in our lives right now. Willem is working feverishly to wisely help & move what & whoever he can in an effort to help those in need. Currently he is working with some officials to get assistance mobilized to the city where it is needed the most. Please pray for his wisdom.
He spent some time in the village today & with the caretaker at the school from Dumay yesterday. There is not much to tell, but I'm going to tell what I can to help ease the hearts & minds of our student sponsors.
Let me start by saying that God has graciously spared the mountains in this area, as well as the north of Haiti. Our areas were affected, but nothing compared to Port Au Prince. Houses & parts of them fell, but few were severely injured or died with the exception of the one little girl who was passing by a rock cliff when it slid off the mountain side. Most of the students from our school are from the mountain areas here, but some do travel in from other areas. As well, most of our teachers live locally with some traveling from Port Au Prince. We are still waiting to locate all of our staff at both of the schools. All of the student body we may not be able to confirm until school is reopened. We do not yet know when that will be. We hope to open the MTM schools as soon as possible, if for no other reason than to feed the children.
Gramothe: No structural damage. No confirmed deaths. Many damaged homes.
Dumay: No structural damage. No confirmed deaths. Many, many damaged homes.
PLEASE! We need for you to continue giving now more than ever! We ask for you to please be patient with us. This is a disaster at insurmountable proportions & everyone that can is trying to help those in need. We will do our very best to provide information as we are able.
We sincerely thank you for your continued prayers & faithfulness to your sponsorship committment.
