Since our last newsletter much has taken place. Don and Doris are once again in the states
for medical reasons and we are praying God’s healing hand upon their lives.
We
also want to wish Doris a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY! May God
richly bless you this coming year with health and
happiness. I’m sure Doris would love to hear
from you. If you wish to send a card, mail it to
the home office and it will be forwarded to
her. (EGO, 1726

Through the month of March, work teams came and went but left behind a new
electrical building, and many small projects completed from our list! Thank you all so much! Now April brings quiet once again to
EGO. The children had a two-week Spring
Break and unfortunately not much took place except lots of playtime. Marla spent her time in Port with a very sick
baby, Dahicha. We thank the Lord that they have found her problem and we are
now awaiting surgery for adenoids and possibly tonsils to be removed.
We also gained another baby girl this week—Angela! She is
two months old and will be needing sponsored.
See the website for details.
The older children from 12 and up got the opportunity to
create T-shirts by doing screen painting.
They love it and have asked to do it again without the instructor. They are also currently learning how to
create decorations cut out of recycled plastic.
They are all so very creative. We
are definitely seeing the blossoming of the ones who have talent in this
area!
The second tri-mester of school has been completed and
grades over all went up, which was very pleasing to those who have been helping
tutor them. We are seeking direction for
next school year in how to handle our special education students. Please pray with us about this. It does not seem possible that school will be
finished for the year in six short weeks.
It seems like only yesterday we were collecting pencils, pens, crayons,
lined paper, black shoes, white socks, etc. for them to start school!
The project for the baby-dorm bathroom has begun. The footings were poured, underground
plumbing installed, and cement slab poured in just one short week. It is amazing how quickly many hands can make
light work. Thanks to a generous
donation, we were able to hire some local Haitian men to help rather than wait
for a team to come in.
Work projects still on the list consist of painting, school
staircase replacement, screen/window repair, and did I say painting? Lots of painting to be done! If you or your organization are looking for
something to do for two weeks this summer, contact us about coming and
working. We would love to have you spend
time with us. Funds are being raised for
these projects so now we just need some able bodies to help with the work. Please feel free to contact our secretary for
details ego2haiti@gmail.com.
On the ground at EGO and loving it!
The Drowleys
